This is all very interesting but completely irrelevant to GiP, except
perhaps to reinforce the idea that if the BBC take steps to shut down
GiP then there are plenty of illegitimate alternatives out there.

GiP does not exist to circumvent copyright. If you download a TV/Radio
show via GiP then you pay exactly the same for it as if you downloaded
it from the BBC directly with iPlayer - which, assuming you are a
licence fee payer, is not zero. You can only use GiP from within the
UK, exactly as with BBC's iPlayer. It simply provides access to the
same content in a different (and to many people, more convenient) way.

Conversations like this one which suggest that in some way GiP is in
remotely the same category as TPB or Tor are misleading and unhelpful.
