[quote]MEDIA RELEASE-IMMEDIATE 1 September 1999 BBC USES COPYRIGHT AS EXCUSE TO CLOSE SITE
Copyright law is being increasingly used to censor Net material, Internet Freedom announced today. The announcement follows the recent attempt by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) to force a US site to close.
BBC Worldwide, the commercial arm of the BBC, insisted that Tom Fulp, webmaster of a US site which parodied the Teletubbies, remove material or face legal action. In a letter to Fulp, Susan Davey, Brand Protection Manager at BBC Worldwide, described his "Telebubby" site as featuring likenesses of the teletubby characters in adult situations.
Davey continued: "We consider it wholly inappropriate that a website of this nature should be on the Internet". She requested that Fulp remove specified material, threatening "Should you fail to comply with these requirements, I will be recommending to Ragdoll [the Teletubbies production company] that we consider taking legal action against you for your infringement of our intellectual property rights".
Fearful of legal action, Tom Fulp initially complied with the BBC's request, and took down the telebubby section of his site. He explained to Internet Freedom:
"I hand-drew all of the Teletubbies, but they all have the same likeness of the originals. I believe this is all covered under Fair Use for parody. I'd heard the BBC chase people who put up Teletubby sites, as far as I know it's not illegal, but I couldn't risk it. I knew they could win, as I cant afford to pay for a lawyer."
In defiance of the BBC's threat of legal action, Fulp has today reinstated the Telebubbies part of the site.
Prior to the Fulp case, infringement of copyright has been used to justify the suppression of such material as photographs of Princess Diana's crash and the JET Report.
Daniel Lloyd, legal advisor to Internet Freedom, commented on this latest incident and said:
"The attempt by the BBC to frighten Mr Fulp into removing his website is scandalous behaviour for an institution with a vested interest in protecting free speech. Mr Fulp's website is clearly a satire on the Teletubbies which any reasonable person would be able to recognise. In the words of one old judge, even a moron in a hurry would be able to tell the difference. The BBC is attempting to use intellectual property law to restrict the rights of adults everywhere to be entertained."
Chris Ellison, founder of Internet Freedom, added:
"The Net functions as one giant copying machine. Now would-be regulators have discovered that they can make use of copyright law to place restrictions on material they find objectionable. Not only does this make a mockery of one of the original purposes of copyright law - to protect the financial interests of the originator - but it stands to make censorship seem eminently justifiable. The interests of free speech on the web demand a vigorous defence of Tom Fulp's web site."
