Please clarify

This is an interesting set of statements, and I have an idea what the thrust of your argument is. However, if you could clarify what you mean, that would be great.

1. Who is spinning what, exactly, and why?
2. How is the iPlayer employing "security through obscurity"?
3. How do you use the word 'hack'? Do you mean the word 'hack' should only be employed by the media when the subject is the serious compromise of computer systems? Can it not also be used to describe a workaround?
4. What do you mean when you say "there is no DRM involved in iPhone copy protection"?
5. What is the "real story" here?

Best,

Tom
