Hmm.. It's great that people are actively resisting this, but to reiterate a point made earlier on the Open Rights Group list concerning the iPlayer petition on pm.gov.uk, is this really the best forum for protest? IMO the idea that the PM (or any branch of government) should step in to legislate what should and should not be shown on television is a slightly scary prospect....
Will forward the post from the ORG list for reference, for all those not subscribed... Cheers, Tim On 2/22/07, Brian Butterworth <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote:
Hi, You are all probably quite aware that Sky have said they wish to remove their free-to-air channels from Freeview and replace them with a subscription service that is based on MPEG4. Despite the fact they haven't even gotten around to asking Ofcom for permission, a petition to 'keep Freeview free' has been started, in the style of the road charging one. http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/SkyPayOnFreeview/ Brian Butterworth www.ukfree.tv -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
