BBC America is like FX or TBS, it's a cable channel with no region differences except for maybe some commercials.
If you go back and read my post I never said they aired ALL episodes unedited, just that they have started to as the poster above me has noticed as well. Reruns typically remain in the hour long format w/ commercials to fill time better. Again, I haven't had cable for about five months and this isn't new news.

After some searching it looks like they cut out 20 seconds here or there for whatever reason (I have very little desire to do a side by side as some have).
And to revive the piracy discussion:
