Just playing Devil's Advocaat for a moment, while schools and colleges have the right to retain copies, is there any clause that says they have the right to make those copies by hacking the iPlayer, or by any other downloading method? Surely, provided they can still make those copies by "conventional" means (PVR, VHS, DVD Recorder etc), the BBC isn't doing anything illegal?
