Sean Daly's interviewed the director of the BBC's division responsible for
their DRM'd iPlayer software:

I think this is interesting at the European level because the issues faced
by the UK's BBC will surely be faced by other countries in the next few
years.

The BBC agreed to this interview after the attention raised by Sean's
previous interview with Mark Taylor on this issue:

There were also various petitions in the UK and I think there was a
DefectiveByDesign protest about it too.
