“The decision to retire the site was not in response to any specific threat" "There can be little doubt that the hostile climate referenced by TheBox can be traced back to actions being planned by City of London Police, the Federation Against Copyright Theft, the UK Premier League, plus other local groups such as Rupert Murdoch’s Sky Television." I don't see any mention of the BBC there. Am I missing something? > Not good ... It's a very different situation, surely? The purpose of get_iplayer is *not* to allow people to do anything that they shouldn't do with BBC content, and not to violate copyright law. It is to allow people to access BBC content *within* the rules, on platforms and devices that the BBC don't support with their own clients. -- dwmw2
