DRM and BBC’s iPlayer
October 31st, 2007 — Nicholas Reville
Cory Doctorow on DRM in the BBC’s iPlayer. iPlayer is a Kontiki-based closed source, closed standards, DRM video player. Unfortunately, American public broadcasters are also toying with using Kontiki in the form of the ‘Open Media Network’, which is not, in fact, ‘Open’, and which has already been a total flop with viewers.
