That site doesn't make any sense.

So the bbc is pissed at that guy for copying thier teletext?


Oh wait, its a bablefish translation

Translation kinda sucks obviously.
In short the BBC is pissed at him for copying their Teletext pages to his webpage.
Although BBC (and it's teletext) is available in Holland (and here in Belgium too) not all Teletext content is. Apparently some of the sports results pages are missing. So he set up this page to allow about 15.000 visitors per day to see those results.

He thinks the BBC is preparing legal charges, but apparently he doesn't care & doesn't plan to get his site offline, rather foolish if you ask me.

I've only used Teletext once, who needs it, when you have internet.
