I posted it because the explanation given makes absolutely no sense.

Well that's a different question to the one in the post title ;-)

The fact that it is not funded by the licence fee is not an explanation... I find it ridiculous

It is an explanation, albeit one that you don't like. Fair enough. My worry is that people will kick up a huge fuss over this when, frankly, it's a storm in a teacup.

It's absolutely not an explanation as far as I'm concerned.

BBC Worldwide does operate in the UK, it sells DVDs, magazines, etc, so there seems no reason to lock UK users out of a specific website just "because" - the explanation they give does nothing to expand on the "because" element.

Its not that he doesn't like the explanation. Its that he doesn't understand the explanation because it doesn't make any sense.

And I don't understand it either.
