I'm not sure, but for particular kinds of music shows e.g. John Peel (RIP) I think yeah, people would love to be able to have copies of those kinds of shows to take on their iPods and stuff. But you're right, Listen Again probably covers it. It's the old chestnut - people who know how can make their copies but most people will just listen to the stream so it works even though it kind of shouldn't. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
