The Tories are lining up with Murdoch and friends to attack the BBC's
online services, and it sounds like the Creative Archive is directly in
their sights:
George Osborne: “I am concerned that in too many of its non-core
activities, particularly on the internet, it is stifling the growth of
innovative new companies that simply cannot compete with BBC budgets.
“For example, the BBC’s licence-fee funded ability to hand out quality
content free online makes it very difficult for others to move into the
new video download market."
