Mondo Times editors Boulder Colorado USA | Posted at 12:07pm on Saturday, November 14th, 2009 | Murdoch Might Sue The BBC For Stealing His News
The Financial Times reported on November 9, 2009:
"Mr. Murdoch was asked how he would be able to instigate his proposal to charge for newspaper websites such as The Times in the UK or The Australian when the BBC and ABC produced free news content on their sites.
“They will have to spend a lot more money on a lot more reporters to cover the world when they can’t steal from newspapers.”
But he added that he didn’t think it would be necessary to go to court.
“They know the law. They will adapt.”
There was no immediate response from the BBC."

Mondo Times editors Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 10:49pm on Tuesday, July 28th, 2009 | BBC News will share videos with UK news sites, starting with the Daily Mail, Guardian, Telegraph and Independent, the Guardian newspaper reported on July 28, 2009:
"The BBC has struck a landmark deal with four national newspaper groups to share video news on their websites for the first time.
The deal with Daily Mail & General Trust, Guardian News & Media – which publishes MediaGuardian.co.uk – Telegraph Media Group and Independent News & Media has been described as the latest step in the BBC's partnership plans, in which it will share content, expertise and technology in the name of public service.
The BBC is providing a limited range of video news content to Mail Online, guardian.co.uk, Telegraph.co.uk and Independent.co.uk, which will supplement the newspaper websites' own material, in four areas – UK politics, business, health and science and technology.
The BBC also plans to make the same video news content, which is being made available free, to other UK-based news websites but has started with four of the largest newspaper sites.
The BBC made it clear that it has "no intention" of extending the range of content to genres such as entertainment and sport news."
