If the iPlayer did that then there would be choice!
I think its a mistake to concentrate on choice: If that's what is
promoted, then we'll just get a cross platform DRM system, which will
be even worse, because even more people will get their freedom
trampled.
DRM is not acceptable, and no iPlayer is preferable to a DRM iPlayer
because DRM tramples our freedom. Similarly, a DRM iPlayer only for
Windows is preferable to a cross platform DRM iPlayer because it will
harm less people, and those people not using Windows will more likely
to understand why the lack of freedom inherent in DRM is unacceptable.
