"Like other broadcasters, the security of rights-protected content
online is an issue we take very seriously," it added.
The BBC announced a version of the iPlayer for iPhone and iPod touch

MP4 file without copy protection and hackers quickly realised that they
could access the file using a simple plug in for Firefox.
