It's even more absurd:  under copyright law you're *entitled* to
record broadcasts for certain private purposes, and a live stream over
the internet is a broadcast.  So you can use get_iplayer or similar to
record the live stream at the right time, and that's specifically
permitted by copyright law.  And the "stop using radio downloader now,
but we won't give you an alternative for six months" is kind of lame.

There is no Digital Rights Management on the content downloaded by
get_iplayer (or radio downloader for that matter).
