Oh, and don't forget Real, Adobe... and Microsoft - gosh how on earth
could we forget that one...

Hi Guys,
So here's the official response from the BBC.

We've released a fix to prevent unrestricted downloading
of streamed TV programmes on BBC iPlayer. Like other broadcasters, the
security of rights-protected content online is an issue we take very
seriously. It's an ongoing, constant process and one which we will
continue to monitor.

Back to Ian,
I hope that focuses the debate now.
Yup, it focuses the debate on why the BBC is favouring Apple
over other platforms.
Ivan
Cheers,
Ian Forrester

Subject: RE: [backstage] iPlayer DRM is over?
Maybe the BBC is only paying lip-service to the notion
of DRM knowing that anything it puts in place can and will be broken.
Maybe everyone should just keep quiet and play along
with this DRM charade?
Can't help but feel that the DRM supporters are the
luddites of the 21st century - people who mean well, but who are trying
to stop something over which they can have little control, rather than
taking the opportunity to embrace new technology and finding ways to
make it really work for them.

I'm reasonably sure this has in fact now been hacked,
but with the BBC "most likely facing a cat and mouse game with hackers
intent on circumventing copy protection."
is it worth
our exposing how it's done?
