as a corporation running on public money, i expect the bbc to keep public interest in mind. Drm only hinders the paying public. I will have to pay for a windows license if i intend to view content i have already paid for, so that bbc can keep their illegitimate masters happy. As for others, they are free to use proprietary software to deliver their content. I just want them to stay away from buying out the somewhat open internet that we have today.

for people who believe that if only open source could reliably protect IP - almost nothing can protect content which is meant to be consumed. Only law can and that is where we are headed.
