As a note: the (public service) BBC produces no DRM'd content which lasts
longer than one month. This isn't a risk that those of us using iPlayer
downloads need concern ourselves with, therefore.

[backstage] DRM duration?

2007-11-08 Thread David Greaves
Of course this is a blog so not exactly a reference source:
http://joyofsox.blogspot.com/2007/11/mlb-game-downloads-still-inaccessible.html

So this DRM system seems to have lasted 2003-2006. Then a year later you lose
any downloads.

Yep, this is the kind of thing that makes honest consumers want to stay within
the law.
