ITV are ignorant bastards
This complaint has 2 parts - first...
Did anybody see itv news at 6.30pm today (10/12/07)?? Basically they ran a story about racism and abuse on the playstation online network. Yet again it was a badly researched, poorly scripted, anti-gaming report. It blatantly set out to subliminally tarnish games with a bad reputation. They stated that GAMES are bringing racism and bullying into the home and that parents should be concerned. Note that they said the GAMES were responsible. They went on to explain that the NEW ability to interact with other players online was a terrible thing because of the possibility of racism and bullying.
First of all games have nothing to do with it. Interacting with people in online gaming is years old so where the fuck do they get the idea that this is new. The only thing responsible for racism and bullying is people - not games, not the playstation network, not the internet but PEOPLE. They even went as far as to "take a recording" of somebody on voice chat apparently giving a barrage of abuse but the recording consisted of a couple of inaudible words followed by a load of bleeps. To the total stupid that is known as the public, their first reaction would be "oh that language is disgusting! They should put a stop to these games!". Anybody could have recorded that message and lets face it, anything could have been said on it because you didnt get to hear any of it.
Basically it was just a "lets shock the stupid into thinking games are bad" routine. They should be sued for something or another.
The second part of this rant is the fact that i thought id have a look on itv.com for the report in question so that i could link to it and show you all what a fucking load of bullshit it is. Then i walked right into it - DRM.
First they say i dont have the correct browser (im using firefox) so i switch to internet explorer. Again i browse to the page i was at and still i cant get to watch the news... and why? Because it uses DRM. You fucking sad little cunts. Its the fucking news for fucks sake - is it really necessary to to have your fucking permission to watch the news? They basically want to know who i am before i can watch it.
This is a copy of the itv.com DRM statement:
"The ITV Video Player uses DRM (Digital Rights Management) to protect video files delivered to your computer. In order for the ITV Video Player to play the encrypted content the DRM software must be personalised.
Windows Media DRM personalises the critical components of the Windows Media Player.

How fucking pathetic are ITV?
