Satisfy them to what end? The current arrangement temporarily "satisfies" media execs at the expense of the general public. Besides, the BBC's job isn't t satisfy Media execs, it's to satisfy licence fee payers, and pouring money down a DRM drain won't satisfy anyone. It won't satisfy us because of the DRM, when thee DRM is cracked the media execs will cease being satisfied, and when the Daily mail prints "BBCs computer code hacked" as its headline, the government will not feel particularly satisfied either. Remind me again of the point of DRM at the BBC, to me it seems as though the point is to find a way of wasting licence fee payers money, so Auntie can claim to be at the cutting edge of technology, whilst actually going backwards.
