I am aware of the 'terms of use' but they do not prevent anyone from expressing an opinion about them. The aim was for a reasonable discussion (what forum is for?) rather than the rant which has, as often, derived. I have always thought the logical solution would be to limit IPlayer use to licence holders.
This was my 'opinion':
"I should be able to do what I wish with the downloaded material for personal use, just as I can record it if I wish from the TV."
There is obviously a lot of ignorance of TV licensing regulations around.
