Except they don't, because although the _criminals_ get an easy ride, the honest hackers who'd like to work on media centres and other tools and programs to deal with this content are scared away by the fact that we had to crack the DRM to get at it. -- dwmw2 - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

Nah, because the technology-friendly minority of the world's population will figure out both how to crack the DRM, and how to produce one-click tools which strip the DRM from crap-ridden files they've downloaded.

Loving the 'Now Playing' RSS feeds :) And really cool that you are using semantics/DublinCore in the feed :) Is there any chance of you getting some more details of what is being played in the feed?

Re: [backstage] www.FreeTheBBC.info
You know, I'd guess that people who couldn't pass an ECDL or CLAIT course would have difficulty working out how to crack DRM. So, if there are so many people in the country that couldn't pass, maybe DRM's not as useless as we all think when it comes to preventing casual copying (the equivalent of "home taping")...

How is saying that there are many (possibly most) people in society, could not pass an ECDL or CLAIT course and this is thus reflected into most professions and areas of life including the media an "accusation" of any sort. It's plain fact, go and visit your local FE college and see howmany grown adults are on basic IT literacy courses and struggling. I work in an FE college library and see these people day in, day out.
