You've obviously not read the numerous posts explaining in some detail why it *isn't* currently feasible
Must have missed that one. Can you show in detail the point at which it says you MUST use MICROSOFT DRM? I would really like to know so I can email my MEP about this matter. In case they want to add the "BBC" as an accessory to whatever they are prosecuting Microsoft for today. Or is it not in fact true that the rights holders would be happy with any DRM?
If you care to not believe that, and instead to believe that the BBC and its employees on this list are actively lying to you then fine
They have done it before! if you lie to me in official communications (and the BBC has) then I am less likely to trust you. Oh and I know they have lied to me because in one message I was told they couldn't do something because "an agreement existed", when I made an FOI request I was told no such agreement existed. If that's not lying how else do you explain that paradox? My favourite one is them telling me something that was free (and that the BBC had used for free) would cost too much. And particularly common is the BBC's ridiculous claim that something would cause them to have to increase the license fee. The BBC doesn't have that power does it? Face it certain members of the BBC will lie to hide data they are ashamed of. It's just a pity they give the honest and hard working members of the team a bad name.
there's nothing anyone can say that will change your mind
Publish these contracts or agreements. It's all well and good saying "it's the license holders, honest it is" and then not presenting any evidence they are requiring anything. Once it can be shown it really is the license holders fault, and we can see it's their fault we can focus on them a bit. But simple yelling "rights holders" and backing it up with nothing ain't going to work. Andy -- SELECT * FROM remarks WHERE witty=1 LIMIT 1 - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
