Hello to all (and particularly the Forum admins).
Question : In your Download section, do you allow video broadcasts, or only radio/audio broadcasts ?
Thanks.
Eric

The question has never come up before, but I don't see why a video shouldn't be uploaded, provided that it is not copyright material and the subject falls within our guidelines.

Well, the copyright issue for video broadvasts might be a bit more complex that just radio broadcasts, and I don't really know either where the line should be drawn (thus, the question to you).
We have in France a website called Culturebox, which broadcasts operas and concerts (and theater and ballet...), and these can be downloaded as well with any download program.  Most of them are fairly standard repertoire, but some of them are true rarities.
Recently Gounod's Medecin Malgré Lui, directed by Pelly at the Geneva Opera; Préviously L'Etoile by Chabrier, also by Pelly at the Amsterdam Opera.... and many others....
I'll propose and you decide....
