This document discusses four perspectives on intellectual property (IP) in interactive television production and proposes a new "programmes as platforms" model. It summarizes the four traditional IP models as legal, entrepreneurial, accounting, and communitarian. These models define IP differently based on one's role in a company. It then introduces a new model where interactive TV shows are viewed as platforms that curate consumer inputs, like websites. This platform model provides different perspectives on ownership and monetization of consumer contributions under each of the four IP frameworks. The conclusion recommends TV executives conceptualize interactive shows as platforms rather than traditional television.
