CreamDown!

TV Cream: the truth!
It has been noted herein that much-loved telly nostalgia website TV Cream is down, with a rather terse notice replacing its fetching homepage naming and shaming "an aggressive man" from the MCPS-PRS Alliance for intervening on behalf of their "megacorp clients". It went on: "I'm sorry if you mistook this for the vibrant sharing of culture etc. etc." Anyway, this was later replaced by the following testcard:

Cream2

I contacted a Cream insider, who gave this official response:

Dear Andrew Collins Collective ... Thanks for taking TV Cream's case to the highest court in the land - Andrew's blog. Don't worry, it's all been a big fuss over not-too-much. After nine years of providing uncleared TV themes for download, TV Cream has been busted, and we hold our hands up. The themes have now been removed, but the site itself will go on.

So now you know.

It's about time. TV Cream allowing people to download the theme played over the opening titles to The Flumps was crippling the music industry.

Youtube are getting round the copyright laws by meeting with the heads of record companies - I think they're offering a percentage of advertising revenue for every video streamed. It's not the best solution but it's better than being shut down...
