While I don't disagree with much of your text, I believe you're wrong about the BBC terms of reference. My understanding is that if you access iPlayer from an Apple device, then that 30-day limit doesn't apply. All get_iplayer does is emulate (or simulate) that Apple environment, thereby avoiding the 30-day limitation.
