Hi rastan,
I've briefly spoken to you about being atvod compliant in another thread but had a question for you. Did you seek advice from a solicitor on whether you need to comply with atvod or did you simply just decide you wanted to be compliant?
Reason I ask is because I am wrestling with this myself and have gone over their guidelines and seen this:

Quote:
Under section 368A of the Act, a service will be an ?on-demand programme service?,
and therefore subject to notification and regulation, if it meets all of following criteria.
a) It includes TV-like programmes: the service includes programmes whose form
and content are comparable to the form and content of programmes of a kind
normally included in television programme services;
b) It is a VOD service: the service enables users to select individual programmes
from among the programmes included in the service, to receive the selected
programme using an electronic communications network,
1
and to view the
selected programme when the user chooses;
c) There is editorial responsibility: the programmes comprising the service are
under a person?s editorial responsibility; and
d) It is made available to the public: the service is made available by that person
for use by members of the public.

So it is my understanding that one must meet not just one or two of the above criteria, but ALL of them.
Did you find that you met all of the criteria and your sites fell under the guidelines that required you to comply?
