[pdb-discuss] British Library data

Wed Feb 21 16:56:24 UTC 2007

I now realise I never sent this to the list back in August 2006 when I 
meant to. Basically I had lengthy discussion with the British Library 
regarding their sound archive data and whether we would be allowed to 
use it. They were very extremely helpful and were very interested in the 
idea in principle. Unfortunately it turned out that they aren't actually 
certain whether they own the rights to the data in the catalogue! As a 
result they aren't able to say yes or no to us.

We've discussed the proposal - and ironically what came out at the last
moment was that the sound catalogue data is largely bought in from
various third parties then compiled so its not ours to say yes or no too.
