New Website

[Xtra]

With all due respect as a humble and grateful user of GIP - yes, you 
probably could comply with any of the BEEBs potential compliance 
requirements on your new website.

My simple point is that even if the FAQs and dissemination of GIP remains, 
you are still posing a risk of the BEEB reacting by making it impossible for 
the GIP program itself to function on their website.  A pyrrhic victory 
indeed - and to the detriment of the thousands of current legitimate users.

The expat users I agree, are already in a dodgy position, but a VPN is also 
increasingly used by many UK residents with privacy concerns.

I know that the issues are complex, but poking a hornets nest doesn't seem 
to be a hellava good way to sort them out...........

The BBC can request the take down of the site and I'd make necessary
adjustments to address the concerns and put it back up. I'm happy to
address them before it gets to that stage.

However, that is going to have no effect of get_iplayer, the programme,
itself. I have simply created a site that mirrors already available
content and added a forum. I am not 'in charge' of get_iplayer or its
removal, no one is actually. It's open source, though we're lucky enough
to have a maintainer.

Rest assured, any move by the BBC against the site in order to remove
get_iplayer would be futile as I would have absolutely no way of
removing it. Further, all the content is available elsewhere, less the
forums, so it wouldn't be a particularly effective move if they wished
to limit access to info either.
