BBC Brings DRM-Free Content To Linux Users

Posted by timothy on from the gnu-linux dept.

eldavojohn writes "The BBC is planning to release some of its programmes to users of GNU & Linux. You won't see Doctor Who or Dragons' Den on there anytime soon, but they have been working with Canonical & Collabora on getting this out there for Totem users. The developer blog mentions that the sheer number of options in the open source world actually makes this difficult to accomplish."

    Someone needs to invest in an open source DRM mechanism.

    That's like asking the Red Cross to build a torture device.
