...that you may be more of a truthful expert in
certain fields than the BBC or their pundits?

What makes you think the editors and the producers know anything about the
subject? FM is happy to help them fill their content quotas, and that makes
them happy. Everyone's happy! (Already-informed readers who will be deeply
unhappy are in a tiny minority so they don't count.)

If you like the BBC then I suggest you contact them to let them know your disappointment in their choice in that treo of "experts". Choosing an expert that is wrong 100% of the time does not help increase their readership, nor their profits. They need to know where they can change to improve on their news coverage.

Suggest to them that they check the past history of their "experts" before quoting their opinions. In the case of that trio, once they express their paid-for-opinion you can clearly count on the opposite happening.

DRM - As a "solution", it solves the wrong problem; As a "technology" its only 'logically' infeasible.

I noticed that the last time I saw BBC quote FM, he was described as having done
consulting work for Microsoft. At least in that instance, BBC linked FM to
Microsoft -- a fact that The Economist left out, last time I looked.

Is DiDio still spouting nonsense?

I thought she'd learnt her lesson (I haven't come across her recently).

Cheers,

The BBC went downhill rapidly in its IT reporting quality when it got too
friendly with M$ in recent years. There are times when it actually appears to be
an advertising channel for any new M$ product (see current 'review' of Win8).
Apple also gets friendly treatment but open source rarely gets a mention. Sad
situation for a supposedly unbiased broadcaster.
