Would the manufacturers who were caught unawares by these sudden changes (and there have been quite a few) be able to take some form of legal action for potential loss of sales? After all, I'm willing to bet that many devices were bought to listen to the BBC in high quality or to use the catch-up services. If so, then that might magically twist the BBC's arm.
