Let's move away from the legal issues here - is the above really a problem or is it indicative of the changing ways of the internet?

My view is that broadcasters no longer control how and when we watch our favourite programmes. If anyone should have a problem with this, I'd suggest it's the broadcasters not keeping up to date with the consumer's lifestyle choices.

It's like downloading music - the music industry has for too long (IMO) dictated we are only to have access to limited tracks and on CD. This is wrong and does not reflect people's lifestyle in 2005.
