since when has a value chain been the discourse of corporate business? the BBC operates within a value chain, as does anyone else making doing stuff what is valued by others - be they acting as citizens or as consumers I think you're just incapable of addressing my substantive point. It's *dead* easy to make anti-DRM arguments using whatever 'discourse' you choose - the fact you choose to come at it from an angle which is outside the rule of law is why there are people on this list who now think you're a pro-DRM advocate in disguise. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
