That's true. NHK Japan had launched a "NHK Creative Library" website  
on Oct 31, one month after RTHK launched the RTHK Creative Archive  
site on Sept 30.
Although apparently NHK has not adpoted the CC terms yet, they do seem  
to have a committed plan to offer free content for public use, with  
3000 video clips expected to be uploaded by the end of this year.

Fwd:  NHK-Japan offers free content

http://www.abu.org.my/abu/index.cfm/elementid/56421/NHK-Japan-offers-free-content

-  Saturday 31 Oct 2009

Japan’s public broadcaster NHK today launched a ‘NHK Creative Library’  
on its website, offering users selected content for free.

Internet users can access the NHK Creative Library to download video  
and audio clips of nature and animals which have been selected from  
NHK’s video archives.

The clips are free to use provided they are credited and it is for a  
non-profit purpose.

NHK said 3,000 thousand video clips are expected to be uploaded by the  
end of 2009.

The new service aims to share NHK’s content with its viewers, and  
through this provide a platform to raise creativity and visual  
information literacy among the public and teenagers towards awareness  
on copyright.

Currently the content offered is in Japanese only. To view content  
available for download, go to http://www.nhk.or.jp/creative/index.html

Cheers,
Mayella
