Folks,
I *think* the BBC may have changed the policy on downloading iPlayer .wmv files for replay using Windows Media Player.
WMP has consistently failed the 'Media Usage Rights Acquisition' process for several days now and the only way to play these files on another device is to (illegally) remove the DRM component.
Perhaps the sales of their overpriced DVDs dropped coming up to Christmas and this change was a pathetic attempt to boost sales, or maybe I am just being cynical.
So.... don't waste your time reinstalling WMP or iPlayer as it won't work at the moment. Who pays the licence fee ?......Er... us.
