Rays new series 1st prog on the Birch bark canoe

[JonathanD]

I set my DVD to record RM's new programme, not only did the DVD player fail to record, my Sky box displayed technical fault 5 mins after the programme started and froze till I returned home, and my girlfriend recorded the wrong channel on video at her place. AAAAAAAAaaaaaaarrrgh

Mind you, technically it's illegal to video a programme off the telly

I thought that it was legal so long as it was for your own viewing..?

 

[tomtom]

i cant imagine it is illegal since the tv channels broadcast electronic information so that those modern videos can record automatically.

 

[Motorbike Man]

technically it's illegal as you have to ask permission from the owner of the rights to the program. In theory, even if you record it for your own use, you have to pay a replay fee to all of the actors involved and the owners of the rights to whatever it is, and whoever wrote the theme tune every time you watch it. Of course, this is all in theory as it's impossible to enforce.

Thinking about it, I'm sure I heard somewhere that a recording from television is OK as long as it is recorded over in a certain amount of time, so you can't tape a film and keep it forever, you have a certain time that you can keep it before it must be recorded over. But, as you say, who will enforce it?

it looks like this weeks program will be a good one. I wonder if he will use his new birch bark canoe?

bbc 2 listings:

Ray Mears' Bushcraft
Thu 28 Apr, 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm 60mins

Travel by canoe is the ultimate Bushcraft journey. It offers the chance to move at the pace of the river, to surrender your life to the rhythm of the water. A canoe makes no noise, leaves no trace and creates no pollution, it's the perfect way to get close to the natural world.

Ray paddles through the Canadian wilderness down a river that was once an arterial route for the fur trade. He encounters moose and beaver and shares his bushcraft knowledge on the journey with canoe expert Ray Goodwin.

Nice info Hootchie

I saw a trailer for the programme late last night and it showed him travelling down some white water and slower river all set in beautiful pin fringed locations in Canada. It also had a shot of him whittling a new wooden paddle with his knife Looks another good programme!

'cording to the book, he didn't trust the birch bark - something to do with the quality caused by acid rain, global warming etc, so he used a cedar/canvas canoe instead. Shame really.

I thought it'd be okay as long as you dont use it for public performance , charge for it plagiarise it etc ?
