It should probably be pointed out that the BBC finished their consultation process before the original email was sent. The objections raised by both Mac and Linux users was noted in their response, and they are looking to have an available client for other platforms as soon as possible, but will be going ahead with the scheme as planned.
I spent a lot of time thinking about the DRM issue when answering their questions - I am against DRM as a whole, but I am also aware that many people are more "pro-copyright infringement" than they are "against DRM" (yes, I'm oversimplifying). My basic stance for the BBC quesionnaire is that I don't see why digital media should have additional restrictions over analog media - I should be able to acheive everything I can do with my video recorder with the new digital media.
