Re: [libreplanet-discuss] DRM in HTML5

[Dave Crossland]

Hi

"We will need to be able to enable or disable availability of some
content based on the type of platform"
- BBC as quoted in http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2013-02/17/bbc-drm-w3c

Yep, I guess that means disabling availability of some works for
viewing with free software.

Cheers
Dave
