BBC had already imposed DRM on their (now closed) BBC Store bought streams, and continue to do so in their iPlayer Downloads (for PC) and BBC Sounds Apps.
It's perhaps worth noting that, in the case of BBC Store, downloads were encrypted but the actual streams that you could watch on-demand were not. When the BBC Store closed down, I was able to download the HLS streams for all of my purchased content. I also wrote a (unreleased) Kodi add-on for watching my purchases while the service was still around. So maybe that provides some hope that the iPlayer will remain DRM-free.
