Submitted by ATAMAH on Sunday March 04 2007, @10:27PM

ATAMAH writes "BBC has announced that some of their shows (previews) would be available for downloading on YouTube: "The BBC has started showing promotional trailers for new programmes and clips from old hits on Google's YouTube in a bid to reach new audiences and boost sales at its commercial arm. News clips will be added in the near future when the output will have three strands, the publicly funded broadcaster said. From the BBC itself there will be content based on current hits such as Life on Mars and Doctor Who, while from BBC Worldwide there will be clips from old favourites such as Spooks and Top Gear, which are sold globally." http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/story.cfm?c_id=5 &objectid=10427063"

No doubt about our lawsuit brought by the MPAA. We will be back in operation once we sort out this mess with our ISP, or we get new hardware ready from another ISP (already working on that). Sit back and enjoy the rest of the internet in the mean time. While it last. — The isoHunt crew""
