It is ridiculous. I presume Windows Media DRM is platform specific. iTunes and Fairplay works on both platforms. So who made the error in judgement - and who is helping the Windows monopoly? Auntie Beeb. Well done. But the BBC are quite happy to sell their shows on iTunes…which means they are using Fairplay for that. It is ridiculous.

The last time Apple allowed that to happen, they got stuffed and Microsoft made Windows... So I don't blame Apple at all. The question for the BBC is why they should be paranoid about content made for portable players. Fair enough if it was HD, but it's not. So why not let the handheld viewing go out DRM free?
