Yeh I did all the (shakey) camera work and editing myself.
What disregard? Most people are just summarising this: You uploaded the video to YT for public consumption, by doing this accepting the YT terms which state that they reserve the right to (and I'm paraphrasing here) do whatever they want with your video.
I find it highly unlikely that the BBC wouldn't have some kind of standing "we can use anything we like for £X" arrangement with YT.
rudetube will ask youtube permission to use it, as youtube had permission to sub license the video.
Honestly, you're going to waste their time for 2 seconds worth of video footage which you didn't even create and recorded from a game.
Imagine if everybody was pedantic as you, BBC would need an entire department dedicated to it.

I guess its alright to pirate movie, download music and software! Where do you draw the line!!
but seriously calm down dear why does it concern you.The difference is I uploaded that video as a non-profit video, I'm sure the bbc make some monies from that episode of panorama even if it is only license fee.
I'm doing it for the lol's i'm not being pedantic, I'm being a money grabbing opportunist banker
Also a side note, that particular bit they used from my movie was an epically long smooth which took ages to program in the camera paths. So there.

Kind of. Music can be used if it's under a certain duration, but certainly not for free, just under an umbrella license where you'd pay the relevant industry body per track used, regardless of the actual track. If you were to use the track for longer (say, over 20 seconds), you'd have to seek permission from that specific band/label and pay them individually. Option a means using a Take That song costs the same as using a local signed folk song, option b obviously means you're going to pay out your backside to use Take That. That's why shows like Cribbs change songs every 20 seconds so they're only paying a marginal fee.
And OT, the BBC certainly don't have permission to use your video, unless they were granted it by YouTube which I doubt.
The BBC are guilty of doing it quite a few times, so if they don't already have an entire department dedicated to it then they should
I would be amazed if the BBC didn't have permission from YT in some form (probably a blanket agreement for certain types of content), as the BBC and indeed any TV production company will have people who specifically get rights clearances.
Failing that they would have made sure they were clear to use it under one of the exemptions that might have applied (iirc there are exemptions for editorial or news comment).
It's one of the many "behind the scenes" reasons why TV is so expensive to produce, as they will have to get permission for every use of clips, images or music unless they have a blanket agreement with the company that may hold the rights to distribute them (the BBC certainly have blanket agreements to use images from the likes of Getty Images from memory).

They cannot take footage from youtube for free, they have no permission.
I had a similar problem with a swedish newspaper using footage from a fashion promo film that I had created as part of a friends project. After contacting them they did not reply within 48 hours so I invoiced them (£20 per second of SD footage at a minimum or 10 seconds, one time usage), I can't remember the exact amount but they removed the article from the website.

I thought it was implied that by taking it off their website they didn't want to pay.

You are wasting the BBCs time much like some chav phoning 999 for spurious reasons.
Get over it. This whole nanny state culture where people think some sort of injustice has been performed on them is disgraceful.

^ Ha. I agree to a certain extent, ie the whole personal injury "sue" culture, but this is a bit different.
