Time-Warner is not going to pay some BBC division for exclusive USA rights to a work if some other BBC division retains the right to distribute the work in the USA. At a guess, BBC transfers all international rights to most works it authors to BBC Commercial which then markets them, with the result that BBC Domestic is obligated to try to block non-UK access. -- John Hasler [email protected] Elmwood, WI USA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
