Draconian Restrictions Management
Save the BBC from Draconian Restrictions Management
Sat, 19/09/2009 - 9:11pm — HomerAfter discovering that the BBC is considering implementing DRM for its forthcoming HD service, I felt compelled to write yet another letter of complaint, this time to OFCOM:
To: High-Definition_DTT[AT]ofcom.org
Subject: BBC's HD Service EncryptionDear Sir/Madam,
With reference to your request for comments regarding the BBC's proposal to encrypt the programme information stream of their forthcoming HD broadcasts, I wish to register my concerns.
I find it wholly unacceptable (and quite ironic) that a service I am forced to pay for, simply because I own a television set, is now proposing to limit my ability to view their broadcasts.
