A login has been required for months to watch TV programs, and 
get_iplayer still works fine.  So I doubt it will impact anything in the 
short term.  Whether it will *ever* have an impact is an impossible 
question to answer, even for people who work at the BBC.  But in this 
case it's probable that they're only pushing the login requirement on 
radio programs to try and increase their conversion rate for the new BBC 
Sounds service and app.

Iplayer login

2018-11-13 Thread Steve

Hi guys,

I'm a bit concerned as I'm getting a request to log in to the bbc 
iPlayer radio pages to play audio, will this ever impact on get-iplayer 
and require a login to download?

There is a public archive of this mailing list, and spammers would have just
scraped it for addresses as part of their general nefarious web crawling. They
don't need to have "got into the mailing list".
