One of the main motivations behind creating the BBC Media Bank site was to offer standard types of content and one standard terms and conditions that you in the UK can agree online once and then have access to all the content in BBC Media Bank. This is taking a while to sort out and is the main thing holding up launch of the site now. Today, I got the feedback I need about these from the BBC trademark lawyers.
That’s nearly the last step, but not quite. The full Ts&Cs for this site will have to be signed off by the Head of Legal and Business Affairs. Unfortunately, she is in China at the moment! And although I’m sure she’s checking her crackberry regularly but it’s a bit of a tall order to check and sign documents until she gets back.
Of course, that give me plenty of opportunity to find lots of little things I want to change on the site, but the launch is so near now, I can smell it…
