BBC tries DRM-free distribution

Dan sez, "The BBC is putting it's annual Reith Lectures online in DRM-free mp3 for download, for the first time ever. May not seem like a big deal, but it's the first time we've managed to do something like this. It's a trial to test public reaction (in terms of downloads and public opinion) – if successful, it's likely to make it more likely for the BBC to offer more programmes for download like this. It'd be great if Boing-Boingers could check it out and tell the BBC what they think of all this…"
