Kontiki may be inferior in technological terms, but would be vastly superior
in terms of a Media Lawyer never having seen its name associated with
intellectual property theft.
There is no such thing as intellectual property theft, and that
phrase is so

*He also sounded a warning for BBC executives, accusing them of incredible
naivety in believing they could control the distribution of programmes
online. *
*Programmes distributed via the BBC's increasingly popular online iPlayer
It's rather interesting that one of the very few TV personalities who
really *gets* the digital revolution (tm) and all that is essentially
arguing that the digital arms race needs to be beefed up, instead of
starting negotations.
My personal opinion, not those of my employers etc.

unhelpfully, the BBC's not yet put up the transcript of the speech, so
it's hard to judge given the vagries of reporting...

Can I just pedal backwards very quickly as I realise that in reading the
article, Mr. Fry actually said no such thing... he just pointed out that
the lock wasn't particularly secure. Which is not news to anyone...

Good example of how the world looks *very* different if you're a
rights holder currently making money from your secondary rights...
even a rights holder as clued up as Fry

All the boxes have ethernet ports, and my colleagues at BBC Research and
Innovation have done some nice proof-of-concept trials of MHEG
applications picking up text content distributed via the internet - for
example, sourcing news stories off bbc.co.uk/news, putting twitter
updates on screen and
Andrew,
There was a demo of a system using MHEG5 and the Creative Archive that we
were shown at the MGEIT(un)F last year.
Shouldn't be a problem to do a Flash video player now the format has been
'opened'.
My first app for that system would be a Podcast player...
I've got a Humax Foxsat-HD,
Yep - the BBC Archive Trial was an interesting project, and proves much
of the technicalities and that, along with another trial called BBC+ did
feed into the Freesat specifications. The Archive Trial used Netgem
iPlayer DTT boxes which also have ethernet ports and a number were given
to people
I agree with Mr Fry's position and furthermore, I think that it
is important, as is my own case, to understand that there are many
rights-holders who fear all of this. and the result is that they
cannot see a high quality/secure way to release their work for
financial reward.

video goes out on bbc parliament and then iplayer after that on sat 9pm.
fry's point about downloading iPlayer files is actually a sideshow to (another)
lengthy spirited defence of the licence
They'll need a few more before the ethernet port does everything we need
of them :)
