I think the problem is more not that people want rid of DRM just because they can, it's more that people like to consume their media in a way suitable to them. If BBC programmes become available I would like to watch on my PSP on the way into work, not just at my PC within a BBC skinned application.
It's just like with iTunes and its DRM, If I buy an iPod because I think it looks nice and download music from iTunes for it and then a few years later get a new MP3 player (non Apple) I would like my music to work with that too. Alot of average (non-techie) users are buying iPods and using iTunes not realising that everything that what they have downloaded can only be played on the iPod and not on anyhing else. People just want to be able to view them when, where and how they want and DRM restricts their choices... (without them realising it) Matt On 6/12/07, Dave Crossland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Her computer broke. She got a new one. She put the iPod in to copy the music back to the new computer. iTunes asked her if she'd like to use the iPod on this computer. She clicked yes. She immediately found her iPod was wiped. She cried. I got the sobbing phone call. DRM MADE MY SISTER CRY. Good enough? :-D -- Regards, Dave - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
