Anti-DRM Activists Take On the BBC

yro.slashdot.org — "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.

Yes, I'm sure Al Jazeera is completely unbiased when it comes to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

Hey thanks, I am a world citizen, I travel a lot and I have live in Spain among other places... personally I think globally and I think I speak for our group also, to desire digital freedom is to desire it everywhere.:-) if we can get the BBC to do this, then others will come and we can use the BBC as an example...Thanks again for your words. this particular project is been handle by Ringo Kamens he is the one doing most of the work.

I have lost track of the changes they made to the algorithm. It is bizarre indeed. The story deserves a place in the front page and nobody gamed the system.
