I went to the link you put up and had a poke around and found this
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology...ernet.newmedia

They have links to lots of free tv etc. so is it ok to link but not ok to embed links, i cant see the police coming round to arrest the staff at the guardian for doing almost the same thing.
They need to stop going after the little guys all the time if the well known companies are flaunting the law then why should your average surfer care about copyright ?
I know this is simplifying things a bit but you get my point ?
Ah well just glad i am not in content
