Last week we saw a vulnerability in TV3’s On Demand service exposed, forcing the broadcaster to shut down its video streaming service for mobile over the Easter Weekend.

Following this news I found myself in a friendly Twitter argument with a fellow geek about DRM, as I often do.
@andonz I’ve always thought that’s a lame argument. It’s the reality of the situation. But lame none the less.
