,----[ Quote ]
| The reaction among bloggers seemed to be "that's nice, but who

| software worked.

Save the BBC from Windows DRM!

| Clearly, shutting out 25% of your audience sits ill with the BBC's

| There is no denying that this is an extremely difficult area for
| the BBC, since it must negotiate not one but three minefields -
| those of technology standards, copyright and contract law. But
| there are still things that it could do without turning into a
| global advertisement for Microsoft's flawed DRM approach.
