So it's bad for the BBC to "waste" money to provide an (admittedly probably only marginally) useful service to close to 100% of the population but it's OK for it to give away all its content for free thus wiping out at a stroke all its revenue from overseas sales? If money's what this fuss is all about then the use of DRM seems a no brainer and if it isn't, why keep bringing it up?
