The point is, that laws can (indeed should) only be enforced if they have the support of the people (c.f. poll tax); that's what the phrase policing by consent means. In this context, if more people started regularly breaking the DRM on iPlayer, or just plain torrenting content that getting it legally, it suggests that there is something wrong with the law, not with the people.
