[mythtv-users] Somewhat OT, but still MythTV related: BBC adopts MS DRM for BBC web-programming

[F Peeters (MythTV)]

Kick the Corruption Out of the BBC!

Today the BBC made it official—they have been corrupted by Microsoft. With
today's launch of the iPlayer, the BBC Trust has failed in its most basic
of duties and handed over to Microsoft sole control of the on-line
distribution of BBC programming. From today, you will need to own a
Microsoft operating system to view BBC programming on the web. And you
must accept the Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) that the iPlayer
imposes.

Read the story about the corruption of the BBC.
