While I don't disagree with much of your text, I believe you're wrong
about the BBC terms of reference. My understanding is that if you
access iPlayer from an Apple device, then that 30-day limit doesn't
apply. All get_iplayer does is emulate (or simulate) that Apple
environment, thereby avoiding the 30-day limitation.

Every single license payer here is violating BBC's terms of service by using GiP to download files that do not expire.  Yet heaven forbid someone from outside the UK violate those same terms of service.  Plus, every US participant that has ever spoken up has observed they'd happily pay the license fee if they could.  Hell, I tried to work out an arrangement to pretend to live in an apartment on somebody's property so I could have an address and pay the license fee, just to contribute my fair share, but the fellow decided not to follow through.  I didn't blame him for wanting to avoid any impropriety, but you holier-than-thou types really suck.  People in glass houses...
