I would also love to pay for BBC TV shows. Let us do micropayments and subscriptions so you can choose exacly what content you want (instead of hundreds of crap cable channels).

i share your concern re: the unwashed masses + custom content; however, i’m fairly certain the The Long Tail will ultimately win out in that case. as Carlos says, we need to find a free market for this stuff first.

It happens all the time, you can listen to pandora only in the USA, watch the Tour de France only in France,… because either they have to pay each country RIAA/Music companies or other companies get the exclusivity for distribution.

As far as I’m aware, the BBC isn’t allowed to sell you its programming. Due to the way the company is structured to separate any potentially profit-making exercise from the broadcasting arm, all overseas sales of programming are handled by BBC Worldwide, a separate company.

Meanwhile, BBC Worldwide probably has all sorts of exclusivity arrangements with distributors around the world that would be harmed if it started selling direct to consumers in other countries.

I’m lucky that all the shows that I currently listen to are free but I wounder how long until they lock it down.

Jesse – nope, sorry. That just changes how Firefox appears. The restrictions on content are usually done by IP address.

I wonder if https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1333 would work?

BBC Worldwide (the commercial arm of the BBC) may let you do that sometime soon.
