A group of protestors, dressed in yellow suits (from head to toe) protested outside the BBC today.

The  "anti-DRM HazMat suits" were part of an action against the BBC and the "iPlayer" TV system, for taking programmes from the past week and viewing them on a PC (currently a beta test for Windows XP SP2 only). 

The group's message is that the BBC is a pubically funded body and as such should not be using DRM technology in this way for Microsoft Windows machines.

The protest was organized by the Free Software Foundation.
