I saw that as well. though I signed the petition, I'm not really bothered any more. I just use my windows partition and just strip all my iPlayer downloads of their DRM with the help of the guys over at doom 9: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=127943 . That way I can watch them wherever I like.
Actually my biggest complaint about iPlayer is Kontaki; it runs every time I start up, and tries to access the net even though I thought I told iPlayer not to do that; thankfully ZoneAlarm blocks it. If any iPlayer guys are reading this, is there any reason that we can't adjust our own upload\download rates, and perhaps even seeing our share ratios a la bittorrent clients? That way I'd probably keep iPlayer running longer, and I'd know that I'd given back as much bandwidth as I'd taken. Vijay.
