Would these be the same producers who don't object to the high-res DRM
free mpeg2 versions streamed over freeview ? The cat is already out of
the bag and this appears to be a half-assed stupid tax for those not 
clever enough to work out bittorrent. The real kicker is that microsoft
get to make yet more cash while the BBC figure this out.

Might be some interesting grounds for Linux and Mac users not to pay
a licence fee tho.
