Hello

I have been talking with a friend, who is a presenter on BBC Radio 4
Extra. about the changes at the BBC.

For the past year I have noticed that changes have been made to
provide information where program episodes may be purchased.

Music programs have the "Playlist" detailing the music played and
where it may be purchased.

We both agree that the BBC archives are a Treasury trove that is worth
a good deal of £.

I have purchased many audiobooks off iTunes and amazon.co.uk.

We both are of the opinion that the BBC is making changes to protect
the archives from being blundered.

who is going to purchase the "Journey into Space - Operation Luna",
"Journey into Space - The Red Planet" and "Journey into Space - The
World in Peril"  series when they can download it off numerous web
sites? what is scary is that I can remember when the they were first
broadcast. ;-)

There are numerous other examples. Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, Ben
Moor's Undone series, EarthSearch series 1 & 2, The Paul Temple
series, The Charles Paris Mysteries, and the Lord Peter Wimsey series,
Doctor Who Audio Books from Big Finish Productions, Sebastian
Bacziewicz's Pilgrim series  and others.

We both wonder how many users of get_iplayer also support the BBC with
purchases of CDs and/or DVDs.

I tend to think that I am one of few.
