Spyware-Free RealPlayer via BBC

The BBC made a unique deal with Real Networks which disposes of their spyware tactics. If a user clicks on a link to download Real Player from a BBC web site, the referrer script sends them to a page where they can download an expiry-free, spyware-free and nuisance-free version of the player. It’s because the BBC have such a stringent public service remit, that it was offensive to charge people a licence fee for BBC content, then make them pay all over again for the facility to view/listen to it
