"Steve Terry" wrote in message ... "Bill Wright" wrote in message ... Watch out, because the overbearing green movement, which would like to micromanage our lives to an extent that makes the present government look like libertations, will have a spy in your wardrobe if they get half a chance, waiting to jump out and cut your knackers off if you attempt to produce a third child. Bill Well something has to be done, the UK has now risen to an average of 490 people per Sq km! Exceeding Holland who until now has always had the highest population density in Europe at 480 pp Sq km Shall we wait until we have a Thousand pp sq km before doing something about it? The reason the UK population is going to rise above 70m is that sucessive governments have had immigration policies for many years that have let anyone in. It's too late to do anything about it now, but I think it's outrageous that the indiginous population should be told to restrict their family size just to make room for a load of immigrants' kids. The fact is, the indiginous birthrate is 1.7 per fertile woman, whereas for immigrants it is twice that. This was in the Times the other day as part of the report on J Porritt's pronouncement on population growth. This sort of fact is kept from us by most of the media, especially the BBC, but the proof of it is that places like Leicester will soon have the indiginous population in the minority. The only thing that can do that (other than a mass exodus) is a differential in birthrates. It makes me laugh how Porritt has finally had to say something about population. It's obvious that the UK cannot achieve the CO2 reduction targets when they are set against the projected population growth. We'll be lucky to to keep CO2 down to the present level. The greenies have kept very quiet about this, because let's face it many of them are just the type of person that has a lot of kids. You know, the hippy earth mother sort of person that tend to have a stupid non-job with the local council or somewhere. House full of kids, wood burning stove, row of boxes in the kitchen for the recycling, and you can't see what you're doing in the living room because they have those crappy little bulbs. Good grief! I even know of one who makes the whole huge family **** in a shack in the back yard, so he can recycle the **** onto the cabbage patch. Still, I suppose all this is a fairly minor manifestation of human folly, compared to some of humanity's daft ideas. And of course it's a free country so they can do what they like, although if the overbearing greenies ever get their way this will no longer be true. Bill |

I didn't see any specific mention of a requirement to destroy the recording. Perhaps you could point it out. Indeed, I'd be interested to see that too. Also that other "Recording programs for creating an archive library is strictly not permitted" claim - if it really was that strict, it too would be explicitly mentioned. Phew! Well, that's me of the hook then. As someone who has paid for the broadcasts I watch I feel entitled to watch them in any manner and at any time I like, because it seems no more than the same freedom the civilised world has become accustomed to when reading books. If I pay for a book, I can read it where and when I like and I don't have to tear it up or burn it when I've finished reading it. Nevertheless, what the law says is: "70 Recording for purposes of time-shifting The making for private and domestic use of a recording of a broadcast or cable programme solely for the purpose of enabling it to be viewed or listened to at a more convenient time does not infringe any copyright in the broadcast or cable programme or in any work included in it." The only reasonable interpretation of that is that you can legally record a programme to watch later but once you have you should not keep it, especially since there is no corresponding let out for keeping it. However, in practice, no-one will ever take action against you if you do. I doesn't seem to say how much later you can watch it or that you can only watch it once.

We do, we just don't employ people that way anymore. In Victorian times every station had a station manager, staff, and thousands of track workers. Not far from where i live, a whole estate of terraced houses were built in Victorian times for rail workers, they are all privately owned now. Steve Terry |

As I see it, a broadcast is a public performance. We have no more right to record a broadcast performance than we have to record any other public performance governed by intellectual property laws, without the permission of the IP owner. The law makes a specific exception for the time-shifting of broadcast material. So it does, but it still doesn't say how much time counts as time-shifting, and it doesn't say what machinery I must use to watch the recording. Nor could it, in practice.
