I do not understand what you are asking me. Do you want me to find you an academic paper regarding the BBC for an exception we should seek? Why would I do this?

The question here is simple: Do we seek to acquire these files in the interest of the general public or do we not bother to attempt this?

Neither am I; I asked whether you could substantiate your claim that:

  BBC and commercial providers can be compelled [to relinquish their
