Irish Elections & Creative Commons

This is the text of an email I sent to RTE. In America, CNN Television network is allowing the copying, remixing and free use of presidential debates as long as they are given credit, I believe RTE should follow its lead and extend to other programs:

First of all, sorry this isn't to the right department, I couldn't find the right one. The technical department which runs the website would make likely be able to deal with and respond to this issue.

I would like to say thank you for the fantastic RTE.IE live service. I am writing this email to ask you follow America's CNN in releasing Irish Election broadcasts under a permissive license, like Creative Commons. This would allow people to reproduce the content freely, and give RTE the credit it deserves. Like Democracy, Culture wants to be free and open to the people. This could serve as a trial to Creative Commons licensing other RTE produced programs.

Thanks for your time, I look forward to your comments/response on this issue!

Hopefully I'll get a response!
