I read some quite thought provoking stories of what the Publishers are up to ..... so once PACT and other old fashioned societies get involved, then the "unintended" consequences could be quite tragic.

I think the people from PACT got it all banned. After all, they have their own interests to look after, you can't blame them.

It's not as if the money is from the public or anything.

Hi folks,

Considering it's now being handled here - do we have anyone with any
clout as to getting get_iplayer supported officially?

Just thinking that there is precedent for a download/streaming engine

Watching with interest...
