Alistair. Yes, it wasn't how I meant to phrase that. In my defence I wrote that just as I came off the stage having given my presentation. I do stand by the sentiment though, that many of us in London do forget that there's such great stuff going on around the rest of country. Ben - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

As this is widely used, there are more people interested in bypassing the DRM system, and so eventually it will always be bypassed, Fair enough DRM is a waste of time IMHO , the time would be better spent working out a revenue model that allowed free delivery of content . plus its created by Microsoft. Right. Could someone explain to me exactly why this is a problem? Widely used, so an obvious target for bypassing - yes, I'll go along with that. Created by Microsoft - no, that's not a problem. Had you said Created by Microsoft and has inherent security flaws as demonstrated by link, link, link and this paper here written by whoever, then yes, that would be a valid point. Simply slating something because it's created by one manufacturer is not. I might not like Volvo cars, but I don't feel the need to slag off the airbag at every possible vaguely related opportunity. er , you 'forgot' the lockins where its very hard / illegal for users of other systems to gain access to documents / media produced by M$ formats and don't get me started on the forced upgrades for profit stuff either. That is enough for me and a growing number of people to ignore microsoft formats out of hand. Try standing up for a company people like instead.
