I don't like the answer, and neither do many others.  I understand the
decision the Director has made, and in fact, I posted a link to an
analysis of it earlier in the discussion.  I just think it's the *wrong*
decision.

I still hope that it's possible to convince Tim & others to change the
decision, but given the carefully restricted scope of the public
consultation on this, I consider that unlikely.

Re. this thread, I was trying to make the point that, for the purposes
of deciding whether to treat DRM as in-scope, it doesn't matter whether
or not the movie industry wants it or not.
