Hi Guys, So here's the official response from the BBC.
--- We've released a fix to prevent unrestricted downloading of streamed TV programmes on BBC iPlayer. Like other broadcasters, the security of rights-protected content online is an issue we take very seriously. It's an ongoing, constant process and one which we will continue to monitor. --- Back to Ian, I hope that focuses the debate now.

Maybe the BBC is only paying lip-service to the notion of DRM knowing that anything it puts in place can and will be broken. Maybe everyone should just keep quiet and play along with this DRM charade? Can't help but feel that the DRM supporters are the luddites of the 21st century - people who mean well, but who are trying to stop something over which they can have little control, rather than taking the opportunity to embrace new technology and finding ways to make it really work for them. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Phil Wilson Sent: 13 March 2008 14:05 To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: Re: [backstage] iPlayer DRM is over? > OK, here's my guess: I'm reasonably sure this has in fact now been hacked, but with the BBC "most likely facing a cat and mouse game with hackers intent on circumventing copy protection." is it worth our exposing how it's done?
