I really like the BBC and the openess of their blogging. I generally agree with Cory but think he sometimes goes too far, however ...
Every time DRM comes up the BBC embaresses themselves with their shifty and/or nonsensical stances. It is genuinely appalling so I'm glad to see them taken to task.

Admittedly a few of the things Corey said didn't make sense (HD-to-SD converter boxes) and the likes but it's mostly true and he's a good person to have spearheading this issue.
