Home taping saves missing BBC heritage

Donna points to the news that some illicit home taping of old BBC programmes has heped to retain those programmes when they would otherwise have been lost to the annals of history. The BBC had deleted the programmes because they needed to re-use the expensive tapes. As Donna says:

"One of the unexpected side-benefits of copyright's (traditionally) "leaky boat" -- you've got a bit of help when you need a bail-out."
