Visitors to the site will notice that the web-based Mini-Moyles has been removed, this is at the request of the BBC.
They viewed the service as "illegally using data from bbc.co.uk", which "[broke] the terms and conditions of the site. - Point three of the terms and conditions (http://www.bbc.co.uk/terms/) states: You may not copy, reproduce, republish, download, post, broadcast, transmit, make available to the public, or otherwise use bbc.co.uk content in any way except for your own personal, non-commercial use. You also agree not to adapt, alter or create a derivative work from any bbc.co.uk content except for your own personal, non-commercial use. Any other use of bbc.co.uk content requires the prior written permission of the BBC."
Although I personally feel their interpretation of the above is rather strict with regard to the non-commercial use of a publicly available piece of data, I suppose there is far more on this site which they could justifiably object to, which they kindly haven't.
We are in discussion to continue to provide the service, but are not hopeful.
Sorry to those inconvenienced by this move – it is unfortunately out of our control.
