Hi Jeremy,
From your first link:
"This requires the BBC to develop an alternative DRM framework to enable users of other technology, for example, Apple and Linux, to access the on-demand services."
They do realise that this will be virtually impossible, don't they? any iPlayer client that offers "DRM for Linux" will be replaced by a client that offers a DRM free experience within days, if not hours. It'll be a double-whammy since the DRM free version will be ported to Windows as well, a DRM free Linux version probably wouldn't be. More licence fee money down the drain there. Seriously, who's made the decision to try and create a "Linux DRM"? And if they have any technical knowledge whatsoever, why are they proposing such a money wasting scheme? Hell, Sony poured millions into the Blu-Ray DRM, and that's (along with HD-DVD) been already cracked; I certainly hope that Auntie isn't spending that amount of money on such a pointless endeavour.
