Transcript

Do you foresee even the remotest possibility that BBC Radio 5 Live are interested in ownership of 3.5 minutes of discussion of Wikipedia on one of their multi-hour long shows? I suggest we give the discussion better attribution + links to the Radio 5 Live website and a link to the individual show's website (if there is one). Fair use would easily come into it given the tiny proportion of the show that's relevant, but they wouldn't give one iota of a damn about it. What do you think? Also, this needs to be resolved quite quickly because I have also been asked to transcribe the Newsnight piece. But that will be taken down from the iPlayer in about five days. I'm obviously not going to do it if it's not going to be used. --Bodnotbod 22:51, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
