You say "Didn't the Trust tell the BBC to produce download clients for other platforms as soon as possible?" But didn't the Trust also set the conditions for DRM?
The point here isn't so much that someone has made a download client but has made a download client that allows for the download of DRM free iPlayer files - which is against the terms the BBC have agreed for the iPlayer (I think that's right). Whether you agree with that or not - it is simple fact. And Jem isn't trying to censor the internet - just asking that you talk about 'getting around the DRM on iPlayer files' somewhere that isn't run by the BBC. Seems fair to me.
