Why has it been banned? Does he swear alot when you take turn down the wrong'un?

[Glade]

BBC contract rubbish. There's 54,000 Tom toms out there with it on from the first batches produced before the BBC ruined the fun.

Guessing there is a file on the memory card that could be shared?

[Dirty Frank]

Why would you want Clarkson on your satnav?

Why so I suddenly want one of these? I hope he shouts at you if you go the wrong way

[Glade]

So there are some files on the memory card... CHK, BMP and VIF

I think that all I need to do is get hold of them and copy them into the directory.

Someone must be sharing these!??

The BBC's issue now, isn't the royalties - but an internal conflict of interest.
Potential Endorsement of a product, created by a high profile employee, that makes money for a third party. Therefore any further sales are banned.

You can't actually pay anyone for it now unless you buy a whole satnav on ebay.
However there are already 54,000 copies out there in the public domain.

So I'd say, in this case, downloading a copy of the voice is fair game.
Hardly stealing the shirt off Clarkson/Tom Tom's back?

(I don't download music etc illegally, and I'd pay for a clarkson voice on my satnav if I could. Infact I don't even have an exciting ringtone, but this might be fairly amusing)

Fundamental misunderstanding of how copyright works there, I think, Glade. It's not about the money, it's about who has the right to make copies - and the licence to exploit that right has been withdrawn from everyone.

[Glade]

Well, my search has been fruitless so its a moot point.

According to this thread, the satnav doesn't connect as an external drive so you can't rip off the voice.

Ah well, worth a try.
