Gah, this makes no sense in the context of what Canvas actually is.
If you're going to bitch and moan, at least bloody do it coherently.

A sense of outrage always makes me incoherent too.
So what is Canvas ?
A black box under the control of a Joint Venture, who extends the
monopoly interest of the rights holders and using the power of rights
holders and the Joint Venture members (including a large public
institution) to distort the consumer electronics market in the UK. In
violation of competition law.
A project that wishes to monitor and control a device paid for and
therefore owned by the consumer, through encryption and DRM, removing
all consumer control and violating European Law and the Human Rights act
in the process ?
A project that will exclude more open devices like PC's, and restrict
public access to publicly funded content.
I guess the above is not how the BBC would describe it !
