I'd assume that a body corporate like the BBC would have its own range of IP adddresses. If they will hold us to ransom, we could quite easily block their entire IP range from editing, consequences be damned; better yet, encourage people (read: slashdot users) to DDoS BBC until they cease and desist. Remember, it's our site, we make the rules.
Y'know, diplomacy does have a lot going for it as a first option.
