I assume they feel it isn't their job to do so, or check.

The BBC don't routinely tell you that you're paying for the ad-based
commercial channels every time you go shopping, either. :-)

On the iPlayer site it says (my emphasis)



"To watch or record live TV programmes on any channel, *or* to watch
or download BBC programmes on iPlayer when you're in the UK, the
Channel Islands or the Isle of Man".


Have you or anyone else asked OFCOM what it means?

This article says it does not apply to radio programmes or S4C.
http://www.theweek.co.uk/75983/tv-licence-fee-changes-what-you-need-to-know
Is that right?  Where in the legislation does it say that?  As far as I can 
see a licence is now needed to listen to or download BBC radio programmes 
using iPlayer (and probably podcasts as well) , but I can't be sure because 
it is so badly drafted.


There is an amendment s368(3) of the Communications Act 2003.
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2016/704/regulation/9/made
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/21/section/368
The difficulty is that there have been a huge number of amendments to s368 
which have not yet been incorporated in legislation.gov.uk.  They may be in 
Halsbury's Statutes.  I haven't yet checked.  They relate to all sorts of 
things including children's programmes and electronic cigarettes.  The 
amendments relating to Guernsey and Jersey do not help clarity.


Without a fully annotated copy of the section including all the amendments 
which are in force, it is impossible to construe it.


I have not heard any suggestion that the change was intended to cover radio 
programmes.  Perhaps we should all write to our MPs to ask what they 
intended the change to mean.


Since writing this I have come across this.
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2009/2979/regulation/2/made
I have also seen amendments to it.  It may be that a radio programme is 
outside the definition, "its principal purpose is the provision of 
programmes the form and content of which are comparable to the form and 
content of programmes normally included in television programme services". 
What about programme web sites?

I ran the 4 ok downloads through many different version of ffmpeg on
the MacOSX & AMD Linux
the resulting output file were all OK
AtomicParsley tagged the output files OK.

The Issue is with Perl Modules under Debian Linux Jessie.
Sometime between Sunday 2016-09-04 & Sunday 2016-09-11 Debian Linux
Jessie Updated which broken get_iplayer under Debian Linux. In all
likelihood the update took place Saturday night.

The AMD Debian Linux box has been my "go to" box for years. it have
used it for get_iplayer for 4 years.
There was never an issue like this at anytime in the past.

The Raspberry Pi were clean installs in the past week.

for now I will use the MacOSX computer until I am able to sort out the
Debian Linux boxes.
My first thought is to downgrade all Perl Modules on the AMD Debian Linux box.
the Intel Box will be kept intact until such time I am able to wipe it
clean and retire it.
For now it will be a comparison box.

What about programme web sites?


Do I now need a television licence to watch www.bbc.co.uk/news?
For example, is today's item on the centenary of the tank a
programme the form and content of which are comparable to the form and
content of programmes normally included in television programme services? 
Does that make it an on-demand service provided by the BBC?


At one time I had a boss who didn't go out for lunch, but he used to listen 
to the lunchtime news at his desk.  Suppose instead he had watched 
www.bbc.co.uk/news on his desktop computer, and he was still doing it now. 
Is the employer required to buy a television licence?

You need a licence to watch any BBC TV programmes on iPLayer, live or on
demand.
 See..
http://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/check-if-you-need-one/topics/bbc-iplayer-and-th
e-tv-licence

However it isn't a requirement to have a licence for on-demand ITVPlayer
programmes or other sources such as Netflix.

Also you don't need a licence to listen to BBC radio programmes either live
or on demand. See...
http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/radio/other/tvs/radio_tv_licence

I think the intention was always pretty clear following the Government's
statement earlier in the year.

My point exactly
And that really the detail is unclear
And quite frankly, enforcement will be near impossible in some cases
