This is a bigger problem as iMP is using standard Microsoft WMA DRM
files. As this is widely used, there are more people interested in
bypassing the DRM system, and so eventually it will always be bypassed,
plus its created by Microsoft.
Other codecs are less widely used and known about, so in theory should
be more secure. With the BBC providing the shows for free, there is
less of a reason to crack the codecs, although someone is always going
to try it.

cant work it, it means the Beeb might scram iMP :(

Seems BBC may have a problem with the iMP trial, apparently it's
possible to get round the DRM thus taking away the watch within
7days restriction
