perhaps the answer to these problems is to encourage the commercial 
adoption of some things like a

GNU/Linux server

With Gstreamer and some ogg/theora media

http://vorbis.com/music_links/

put a nice wrapper around that don't charge proprietary prices for the 
service and software just for the service!

game on, take back the infrastructure

your call or just sit there and have your abilities taken away from you 
one at a time, it is called attrition and "they" have billions of 
reasons to prevent your freedom

Maybe the nice people in Irish Radio and TV should be looking at this as 
a cost saving measure. They could then put more money into program making.

There is many the little wrapper for the windows users to download the 
free content  codecs (VLC) and happiness. Mind you this does not in any 
way detract from my original comment, or it's implication.

Anyway it is a nice day I am playing some oggs, and thinking maybe I 
should go outside to the big bright blue room.

Hark I hear a kettle boiling, first a cup of tea!

Regards,
P.
