That's an interesting approach, but I guess it's quicker than decompiling iPlayer then rebuilding it from the ground up; I would guess that if WINE works correctly, the DRM stays, afterall that's what WINE is meant to do, implement all the "features" of windows, natively in Linux. The days of MSDRM are limited anyway, it won't be long before someone develops tools like these: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=127943 that auto-run when iPlayer finishes downloading. Of course, that would almost certainlybe a breech of the T & Cs
