Anti-DRM Activists Take On the BBC

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the doing-what's-right dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Activists from Binary Freedom Boston have launched a campaign calling on the BBC to release their content online without DRM or proprietary formats. You might remember the BBC asking us about this earlier and even though the public chose not to use DRM by a landslide, they still decided to use it. EMI and Amazon have already ditched DRM. How long before the BBC does?"

  1. What about NPR? by freelunch · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Why can't we easily download NPR content in a friendly format?

    It seems like their audio is WMV or RP and the download links are buried. I don't want to launch a proprietary player from my browser or otherwise, thankyourverymuch.
