Try as I might I can't get around BBC's IP snooping... It seems they adamantly don't want to spread the cultural wealth, even if it costs them nothing.
Being an Armenian who grew up in Lebanon I've already paid the UK the equivalent of way more than TV licensing fees :-/ so I wouldn't at all mind watching an "unauthorized" recording. Maybe host it in Beqaa Valley.

It's a pretty recent thing isn't it? They're mostly targeting UK TV Licensing, following funding cuts. But, agreed – they ought to figure something out for other counties.
Oh, I suppose funding cuts could justify font piracy too than.
Sure. It depends to how much protectionism the recipient of the funding cut stoops. It's all give-and-take, and Legal and Moral are not really friends. The French Revolution was illegal too.
