I think we need to disseminate ways that linux users can use to use the 'services' that the BBC provide. I'm hoping they wont actually use DRM on their content so we wont have break specious laws to access the stuff but if they do then I may feel obliged to use 'illegal' software to read things I've paid for. If this stuff is generally available they may feel that it is worth catering for others.
