Vanessa Thorpe, (London) Guardian; Lost tapes of classic British television found in the US: Treasure trove of drama from the 'golden age of television' discovered in Library of Congress after more than 40 years:
"The Library of Congress initially approached Kaleidoscope, the classic TV experts, who took the good news to the BBC and ITV this spring. "We brokered the deal for the BFI because so many different companies have copyright over the material," wrote Kaleidoscope's Chris Perry in a blog this weekend."

Boyle Web sensation: A massive missed opportunity?; Associated Press, 5/29/09
Jake Coyle via Associated Press; Boyle Web sensation: A massive missed opportunity?:
"According to rough estimates by the Times of London based on online ad rates, the first Boyle video could have earned close to $2 million with minimal advertising on YouTube.
Eliot Van Buskirk, a writer for Wired.com who has covered this territory, thinks a unique opportunity was missed.
"This video of Susan Boyle is quickly becoming the most viewed video of all-time — and nobody's making money," said Van Buskirk. "It's been sort of a growing pains stage of ad-supported media."
Van Buskirk said the situation showed the need for content creators and distributors to have agreements in place for when a sensation strikes.
"We're still in the early stages — somehow — of media on the Internet," he said.
A percentage of the would-be ad revenue also would have gone to YouTube. Instead, the Google Inc.-owned company has earned little directly from what might become its biggest hit since launching four years ago."
