This article illustrates how the BBC is just ahead of the times. Rather than
trying to pass BS laws or force a change in PC hardware, the BBC has taking
a radical approach: Give people what they want, simulcast the program on
the web...read more here

Hyocrite alert!!!!
....and this coming from one who posts replies like "don't worry about it"
when someone is asking about password cracking/hacking. Still waiting on
your answer!
P.S. Nice try at playing the "victim"....
I would love for you to say some of your crap to my face. I really would. Ah
but, then you could not hide behind your keyboard!

Jim, I know that if we were face to face you would not be so quick to
insult. As for computer security, Jim, you are not even in my league.
Furthermore, 90% of the people here are much more talented than you. You
know this. This is why you act the way you do.
Jim you are the biggest hypocrite going. You are rude to people on this news
group and use you anonymity to your advantage. When someone throws your
shit back in your face you try to play the innocent victim. I said it
before, at least you are predictable and entertaining! I sure laugh at you!
I even send some of your postings to my friends who also laugh at you. So
thanks bud!

I guess you believe in the imaginary Universe you live in. Hey, power to
you.
Now back on topic:
I really like the way the BBC is handling things. They saw that there is a
demand from their users to view the shows on the Internet. They listened,
rather than trying to push new laws or hardware (Like Microsoft and their
partners)....that is what this post is about...

Ah, Jim...I must say you do make me laugh (at you). I thank you for that.

So, what you are saying is that it is more expensive for a company to
broadcast the show via the Internet? I think that statement is incorrect.

Ah yes, the old use proprietary hardware and pass the cost to the your
users...Personally, I'm not interested.
I hope the BBC succeeds. I like how they do business and their support for
Linux on their web site. They have my vote.
The correct way to handle piracy: The BBC
