Proof that news will eat itself
Users sent in their pictures of the Airbus A380 when it made its first flight to the UK, and many of those pictures were featured on the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ News website and on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ News 24. One of them recorded the appearance of the photo on the TV, and has now posted that recording to YouTube. So to complete the circle, it's only proper that we should in turn link to that posting.

If this was a public blog, it would only be a matter of time until the person who took the picture would link to this entry.
Is there an official ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ line on the replication of news on sites like YouTube, and is this trickier when the content includes material generated by the public (presumably for free)?
You can imagine a lawyer's letter going out at some point to YouTube or a blog which would be entirely by-the-book, but which would look extremely uncool.
Waits to be told that a steering group is discussing this...
and so would I ;-)
