And this is used even by public entities to communicate with the people. For instance Italian public television makes its programs available on the net in a format called VC-1, which is a standard supposedly, but it's a secret standard. Now I can't imagine how any publicly supported entity could justify using a secret format to communicate with the public. This should be illegal. In fact I think all use of Digital Restrictions Management should be illegal. No company should be allowed to do this.
