Isn't it largely means by which BBC Worldwide show stuff that we
domestically already got to see on other channels, akin to BBC America
or whatever? I would have thought that get_iplayer probably caught much
of that stuff from elsewhere if you had it previously set for those
shows back when they were shown here. I think they've done films, etc.,
too, but those were paid for by cinemagoers as far as I know.

Seems to me that this whole issue has nothing to do with GIP which
exists to access programmes frm BBC iPlayer, funded by our licence fee.
BBC World I suspect is a part of the BBC as a business. Whether or not
any of our license fee goes towards that I don't know. The obvious
answer is to ask the BBC or Offcom or whoever.
My quick research enabled me to access it via YouTube, I can't recall
BBC World as ever having been available via Iplayer however you might
choose to access that. Freeview of itself merely provides access to BBC
digital channels paid for from the license fee.
IMO none of this has anything to do with GIP
You want to debate the BBC's funding, do it somewhere else.
