That's more like dumpster diving. I wouldn't exactly consider that theft

You're not a corporate entity trying to maintain a stranglehold on an IP. I don't think there's any depth they are unwilling to plumb to protect and enhance their profits.

P.S. Yes I know the BBC is publicly funded by the British people but it is also a corporate entity that makes money on its unique IPs just like any other... cough Disney cough
