Submission + - BBC to publish torrents, but...

Zoxed writes: "The BBC today announced that it will be publishing some of it's content worldwide using Bittorrent technology, in partnership Azureus' Zudeo software. "Beth Clearfield, vice president of program management and digital media at BBC Worldwide, said that the agreement was part of a drive to reach the largest audience possible." As a UK ex-pat living in Germany it sounded great.

But: I read further to find that the content will be DRM'ed (no specifics yet). And I checkout the Zudeo website: Windows client only. (And they can not even manage valid HTML.)

So I guess Beth really meant "the largest, fee paying, DRM, Windows using audience possible." Nice try BBC."
