Nice idea - but...

Dandelion Radio is not a pirate - we are licenced with PRS and MCPS - and pay 
a lot of royalties every month for the privelege! (We are entirely funded by 
contributions from our DJs and staff) - There is no way we could jeopardise 
our position by playing old BBC broadcasts which would be seen as illegal copies 
by the BBC or the many publishing companies with interests in the material - 
in fact even Peelie's estate may have an interest.

This is also why we cannot set up a website to distribute the shows - whoever 
could be shown to have set up the site would be legally responsible for its 
content - so the various upload / download services are our best option at 
least in the short term - they at least give some anonymity to the uploaders. 

btw I have had no probs downloading 90 percent of the recent files - one 
thing you probably need is the most recent versions of your system software, your 
browser, and its various plugins. (I use a Mac, btw). Has anyone else been 
having problems?

Our best bet for distributing the shows long-term may be some sort of server 
like the one run by PhilFestive50, which is currently offline - access can 
then be controlled by password login etc.

Cheesr!
