RE: [backstage] University Tour dates
Yes sorry didn't make that clear, We're doing these colleges at first, but want to do a lot more in the new academic year. If you know of any colleges or universities we should be going to, please drop us a email off list with the name and email address of the lecturer.

If so could you make it next academic year (ie october onwards) as I will be there!

Manchester Metropolitan - 5th March Newcastle - 12-13th March Northumbria - 14th March Ravensbourne, Kent - 15th March Hull Scarborough - 16th March (maybe) The idea is during the day to be on the university campus and during the evening/night have a social event near by. We are hoping to partner with a local social event instead of doing our own exclusive one if possible. For example, we're talking to the Geekup guys for Manchester. Any ideas would be very useful, otherwise we look forward to seeing more of you guys in person.

Re: [backstage] First BBC Backstage Podcast: DRM and the BBC
not *exactly*... the 'it was too popular for its own good' refers to various local radio stations having their bandwidth soaked up due to people downloading stuff... not good for business, that... It didn't do much for productivity either as I recall - I think at the point my team blagged two or three accounts on the internal beta thing we must have wasted about five hours (=several people's licence fee) going effing hell, you can download x, effing hell, you can download y, effing hell, all of the sports programming etc etc I've got a similar experience here at Sony at the moment, where my test account on various live Vodafone services around europe in 'theory' means I have free access to a back catalogue of 500,000+ tracks that I can download for nowt onto my work laptop. Now, if I can just work out how to get the DRM off them ;-) cheers, martin www.currybet.net - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

Re: [backstage] platform-agnostic approach to the iPlayer
Nation shall encrypt peace unto nation Although, of course, if the other nation is using the same OS and has the right DRM key, that would be better than Nation shall offer nothing to nation wouldn't it? ducks m On 15/02/07, Brian Butterworth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What's the point, then? Well, the point of the BBC is that, by informing, educating and entertaining everyone in the UK, the population of the UK gains both individually and collectively to an extent greater than the BBC's negative market impact This is a nice argument against BBC DRM, I think :-D A bit like the one that points out that the BBC's motto is not Nation shall encrypt peace unto nation Brian Butterworth www.ukfree.tv -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

[backstage] BBC getting News feed via Nintendo. :-D??!!
I just ran into this story over at Wired: So I'm watching the World Business Report on BBC World and there's a story about Google being attacked by media conglomerates about copyrighted videos on YouTube. Apparently the BBC have decided to get their AP feed from Nintendo these days... Accompanying a picture of a News reader with the what looks like the Wii News channel in the Background, anyone from the BBC care to comment. Is Auntie really that strapped for cash? Or is it some early sign of a BBC-Nintendo deal (first step to me getting BBC content on my Wii, perhaps? Here's the link: http://blog.wired.com/games/2007/02/bbc_gets_their_.html Vijay.
