Read this: The BBC, DRM and the demise (?) of get_iplayer

Summary: It's never nice to hear about the demise of a piece of simply brilliant software. when I discovered that get_iplayer was being pulled by its developer I was, to use a cliche, gutted. The potential loss of a piece of software that did just what it said on the tin is bad enough but it was impeccably free and open. You needed and still need Adobe Flash to view the video content and the content was encumbered with DRM and was not yours for keeps. - freesoftwaremagazine.com
