The BBC has announced the move to a file-sharing site that will make hundreds of BBC programs legally available to users.
Users in the US will be able to download copies of BBC high definition (HD) video with Azureus’ Zudeo software. After viewing it, they can comment on it, rate it, and recommend it to friends.
What’s so different about this file-sharing site is that bloggers will be able to link to the video programs from their blogs and social networks sites, like MySpace and Second Life.
“File-sharing is often associated with illegal distribution of copyrighted content. But in recent months a number of networks have tried to shake off this old image.”
This will be a great resource for instructors to find video clips to add to lecture presentations or find a short video clip for conversation starters to use in class.
