Legal TV, a TV channel broadcasting on Sky 885, will have a show at noon tomorrow (Friday) about copyright and the Internet. DRM will also be addressed.
Legal TV is on eurobird at 28e 11224 V 27.5Ms/s, and is visible over much of Europe free-to-air. For footprint, see http://www.eutelsat.com/satellites/285e_popd.html and for satellite TV FAQ see http://mjr.towers.org.uk/comp/astefaq.txt
The channel's web site is at http://www.legaltv.co.uk/ but its programme guide is out of date.
Good luck! Ask if you want any background info, but I guess you know most of it.

Thanks M J. I'm rather looking forward to this show. I was talking with one of the researchers this afternoon. Apparently there'll be myself, a lawyer, and someone phoning in from some copyright protection group.
It's great that they thought to ask someone from Free Software to have a word. They wanted a "technical" balance on their show, and a talking head to explain technology and talk about the downside of DRM. Sounds like the Legal TV research is pretty progressive and well informed with regards the current issues in digital copyright land.
