All very good content, but I fail to see how it answers, or even
addresses, the OP's question.  From a purely technical point of view, he
was interested whether new measures to prevent viewers from watching the
iPlayer without a valid TV license would have an impact on the
downloading of programs with get_iplayer.  The possible lockdown of BBC
streams has very little to do with politics and highjacking the thread
is just bad form, even if the content is worthy of attension.
