The new film by Full Monty writer Simon Beaufoy will become the first to be launched officially over the internet. This is Not a Love Song, which stars Harry Potter actor David Bradley, will be streamed from 1800 BST on Friday. — http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/3082856.stm
But…
“You will need:
* To be based in the UK
* To be running Microsoft Windows XP, 98, SE, Me or 2000 (gah!)
* To have Microsoft Windows Media Player 9 Series installed
* One of the [credit] cards shown opposite.”
Then they have the gall to say:
“Accessibility for all…” — not if you’re on *nix or Mac, it isn’t, or don’t possess a credit/debit card.
“The film will be available in the following versions:
- A subtitled version for the deaf and hard of hearing
- An audio-described version for the blind and visually impaired
- A standard version” (WTF?)
Gah. Gah. Gah. Micro$oft 0wn j00.
