If it was the BBC, they would DRM it and make some spyware available for Win32
in order to play it. That would keep Erik Huggers and his old buddies Ballmer
and Hilf happy(ier). More harvesting of data on people's PCs and more stubborn
lock-in. Hollywood too would be happy to know that people's beloved radio
shows 'expire' (worse when it's interviews with /SELF/), so they need to
buy... sorry, /CON-sume/... some more new radi... err... I mean /CON-tent/.
