    These things should not at all be scraping without express permission of the author or the company who owns the work. It’s just completely wrong for them to do as such.

      It is complicated for sure as a human is allowed to read BBC and use that information/knowledge anyway they wish including as a source for their own articles/videos. There is no copyright on knowledge and we really should not be allowing BBC to block AI from learning as it does benefit society when knowledge is easily accessible.
