IP Democracy: The BBC Puts Wildlife Video Archives on the Web

For a staid British institution, the BBC is an innovator in web-delivered video. The latest move: the BBC has put its natural history video archives on the web for viewing at no charge. This move follows the Beeb’s decision to put its news video archives on the Internet.

Not only is the content from the BBC’s Open Earth Archive available on the web, but the broadcaster is encouraging others to use the film clips to create their own non-profit content under an open license.
