I really don't get the so-called "logic" of the BBC. They pay big bucks to put their content on YouTube, only to completely shut out all viewers outside the UK. Which is, really beginning to make non-UK viewers quite incensed. I had someone write me the other day, to say she's stopped watching BBC America, because she's tired of the games they keep playing with programming, but also on YouTube--like me, she could watch BBC content on YouTube--UNTIL she signed up to "subscribe" to the BBC on YouTube--now she's BANNED. Stupid. There's no delicate way to put it, it's just plain daft.
And please, no long comments on how the BBC works--I know, I know, I know already. 
And YouTube, is getting angry responses as well, I'm told, by allowing media giants to ban content from some viewers, but allowing it with others. YouTube--now owned by the almighty Google, used to allow all people to see its videos, but now it's prostituting itself to big business, and banning many viewers from the very videos that first brought them to the website to begin with. Capitalism totally sucks, sometimes, don't it tho'? Yeah, YouTube is daft, as well.
But then, so, for that matter, are the viewers who allow this to happen, who are angry about it and, then do and say nothing and just accept it. We DO NOT have to accept this. I'm doing my bit, here, and have made my views known to both parties--including unsubscribing to BBC and YouTube, and refusing to visit the BBC's Dr Who website--because of banned content there, as well.
The BBC wants international viewership--by their own admission--they want us Yanks to buy their books, videos and gift items, they want us to shell out big bucks for the premium channels to get BBC America--but then, they spit on us and treat us like rubbish--no apologies, no reasons--just the old two-finger salute and an "oh, well, tough cheese old bean."
