More details from petition creator

Currently anyone publishing television listings in the UK is required by law under Schedule 17 of the Broadcasting Act 1990 to pay a royalty, which BDS (Broadcasting Data Services) collects on behalf of the broadcasters.

By releasing television schedule details into the public domain many web sites will be able to integrate this information into their content, creating a tighter convergence between the web and television which will benefit advertisers, broadcasters, webmasters and importantly, the consuming public.
