I've just had a sense of deja vu because there's a thread on the Points of View message board asking about the legallities of recording the various BBC streams - one of the hosts has forwarded the question to the legal team to see what they say. Might be worth keeping an eye on. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbpointsofview/F1951574?thread=732740
Personally I just use my DAB radio for recording things - I have a Bug which has an SD card slot and a timer option. I make good use of it for recording various comedies on Radio 4 that I wouldn't normally be able to catch as I'm usually travelling home at the time!
