After seeing a lot of posts about getting media from sites such as bbc.co.ukworking I saw this on the Nottingham LUGs mailing list:
Hi all, The BBC iPlayer - which provides access to BBC programming for up to 30 days after it's aired - will be released as a Windows only application, including DRM facilities to restrict users rights, for at least the first 2 years of the service. The Open Source Consortium is running a campaign against the release of the Windows only iPlayer product - including a formal complaint to the EU on the issue. To show your support for this issue, please take a moment to sign this petition: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/iplayer/ and show your support to the OSC by posting us a message (via the Contact Us area of the website), or joining the OSC: http://www.opensourceconsortium.org/ Please feel free to forward this message to any groups or mailing lists that may be interested in our campaign.
