CBC To Release Program DRM-Free Via BitTorrent

Cool! Not a program I would’ve watched ordinarily, but I’ll be giving it a shot. Michael Geist points out that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation plans to freely release a high-resolution version of Canada’s Next Great Prime Minister via peer-to-peer networks without any DRM restrictions. And in a Naked Conversations moment, Tessa Sproule, CBC’s Executive in Charge of Digital Programming, weighs in with a comment.

On a side note, I haven’t visited the CBC’s home page in a while – check out all the links for podcasts and oooh, the archives. Here’s a piece from December 1979 – a Buyer’s Guide to Digital Watches (one model even has an alarm!)
