Complaints from users of Radio Downloader were discussed on this week's R4
Feedback programme.  The BBC view was that RD circumvented DRM on the
programmes it fetched, which is why it had to be stopped.  

(I really don't udnerstand why the beeb take this point of view, since
anyone recording broadcast programmes in an analogue way can keep stuff for
ever.) 

Does using get_iplayer to fetch radio programmes stay within the limits of
DRM?
