While I would be largely content if I could obtain only the BBC-created
content through get_iplayer -- after all, most of the films they show
are rubbish anyway -- I worry if that too is an issue: without them
being seen to protect it fairly aggressively, it might then be rather
harder for BBC Worldwide to sell their programmes on any kind of
exclusive basis to other countries.

Anyhow, now time for me to settle into an evening of viewing that
get_iplayer kindly timeshifted for me. (-:
