"As some commentators have pointed out, the reason the volume of iPlayer hacks is this low is probably because if you want to keep a permanent copy of a BBC programme for your personal use, there are easier ways to do it than hacking the iPhone implementation (which we've made considerably harder, if not impossible)." That it was hacked the day it was rolled out makes the statement "considerably harder, if not impossible" ridiculous. "You can simply tape/PVR your desired programme from air. If you really want to illegally distribute BBC programmes, then this is possible too. PVR BBC programmes off-air, and then upload the files to a file-sharing site." Does this put the BBC in a difficult position? Its blog is being used to share information on ways to get around content-restrictions on a BBC service! -- Regards, Dave Personal opinion only. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
