That picture is really complicated. It's also utterly pointless, all those rules mean squat. BBC HD content, as well as everything else, is fully available and leaked onto the internet, seemingly without even the slightest roadblock for those that upload it.

Why is our licence fee money going to paying all the licences on utterly ineffective copy protection?

The BBC are the taking the lead in this stuff, so they are certainly on the right track. But I can't help thinking they would be better serving their "over-lords" (the licence payers) if they just 'allowed' recording to standard video files which were accessible over any home network.

@jopey

Agreed. The genie is already out of the bottle. You've only got to look in Newgroups, the appropriate Forums etc., to see that. Whilst as you say, it is laudable that the BBC are **reducing** their strangle hold of C.P., in reality its a mute point.

I guess, like in many walks of life, its "being seen to be doing the right thing" that the BBC is stuck with.

One brick at a time, one brick at a time....

Speaking of BBC, just saw TR website featured on BBC News 24 while they were explaining targeted on-line advertising. Fame, or infamy perhaps :P?

I saw this too, on BBC breakfast. It was this morning, shortly before 7am.
