Wrong - the door is open with a welcome sign because all the progs are broadcast first of all on TV without DRM. Adding DRM later on is just a meaningless waste of money. If people want to get content online, they can and they will. iTV will probably make it even easier if it records live TV as suggested here:

Save the money wasted on DRM and spend it on finding other ways to make money out of content. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Thomas Leitch Sent: 13 March 2008 16:46 To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: RE: [backstage] iPlayer DRM is over? > > > On 13 Mar 2008, at 16:03, Thomas Leitch wrote: > > > You can force your way into my house should you really want to, but > > that doesn't mean my front door is broken. > > That's a flawed analogy.
