The whole webcam rumour seems to have started because someone on this forum tried to match up dates and time in Ofcoms report with clips on here. That does no proove for one minute that the web clips here were used by Ofcom but is being taken as fact.

If it really bothers you, write to Ofcom and ask them to disclose the information used in their decision making, ie the recordings Bang supplied. They have no legal grounds to refuse a Freedom of Information request, but might insist on you real name and address. Even if content is R18 they have to supply it, though they cannot legally post it. Ironically there is nothing to stop them putting it on the web. They can insist on supplying it in the format it was supplied in, or whatever strange commercial format they have transcribed to, and it could be a format you cannot easily read, but thats about the only difficulty they can throw at you.

Good summary, eccles:

The only issue you haven't covered is time. FoI themselves don't include enforceable dates (at least as far as I understand it) - I think the Act cites "...a reasonable timeframe" for the respondent to satisfy the request (or provides grounds for refusal or partial satisfaction).

In practice, this means citizens can wait months for a response to a FoI request.
