Channel 4 to Make its Entire Catalogue of TV Programs Available Online for Free

"For you non-Brits out there, unfortunately there aren’t any plans to offer the service internationally just yet."<p>Buggers.

Every silver lining has its cloud, don't forgot - I predict a massive productivity-killing Brass Eye binge in the near future!

This is mainly relevant to UK folk, but unless I'm mistaken I believe its a worlds first too.

The bbc are a bit behind, but have been talking about doing the same for a while now - and appear to be building this archive of (currently just very old) programmes out gradually: <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/</a> Not sure whether it can be accessed from ip addresses outside the UK though...

I've been waiting with baited breath for the BBC to offer it's content on the web internationally too. (They are in talks with google about this supposedly). It's a MAJOR bummer that we can't access Channel 4 or the BBC on the web here in the states. It's actually really really frustrating.

It's funny it doesn't mention UK in the title. When I first read it I was a little confused. Here in the US channel 4 could be completely different even 10 miles apart.
