That's what it usually comes down to. Until someone complains, you don't know if they really care or not. I would be highly surprised if the BBC cares in this case. That however is the way the law is written.

I should point out, there are UK vs. US differences as well. The UK equivalent of "fair use" is called "fair dealing" and has significant differences. I don't know if the "fair use" argument I used would translate to the UK.
