I dont DVD would break this one yet becuse the BBC are developing thier own open source cross platform codec called Driac and Jons whole philosphy is based on interoperbility and open source .This is still a limited content trail and cracking it will just ruin any chance of the BBC rolling out such a service .

Its also reported that the Beeb may use Sun’s open DRM becuse they dont own the rights to most of the content they broadcast .There are many open source advocates in the BBC.

To play devils advocate here I can understand why the BBC has chosen to use DRM .They are running a closed beta and trail of a new distribution medium and to convince the content owners that thier content wont be leaked they have to put DRM on it in the future they may allow of content to be archived by peer to peer .

The BBC is also developing a open source cross platform video codec and a bunch of other open source technologies to dont jump too soon and rember this is a trail of 5000 people .

That’s because the BBC is trying to maintain its ability to extort TV Tax from the British public. I seriously hope someone cracks the DRM on this, not just because DRM is scumware, but because it might kill the ‘license fee’ once and for all.

Not that I am bothered about the content, but I will get round that DRM if it kills me, wont be the first, and I doubt it will be the last this year!

Are you sure it’s available for everyone. The page you linked said it was still under trials and there was no download of the application available. And yes, I am based in the UK.
