Football fans in the UK - DRM Warning...
Are there any football fans here that use their clubs website? Take a look at this 'news' item from my clubs website (they might require you to register - but the same item should be on other clubs sites too).
Chances are that your club's web presence is owned by PremiumTV too, and their 'World' news service is about to get a lot tighter using Microsoft DRM. The problem here is that this is a subscription service, which they're about to limit down to about 75% of their current customer base by cutting off their Linux and Apple customers.
What I'm suggesting is that if you feel as strong as I do about this, you should bombard your club and PremiumTV. It'd be really nice for them to get a substantial number of complaints; I dont think it'd change their minds about this very quickly, but we should let them know that the growth of Linux is something that should not be ignored.
I've only been able to watch the news service in Linux for about 6 months (since FC5, actually) before then it would work with audio only; and now they're going to take it away from me.Linux user #126863 - see http://linuxcounter.net/
