How much does BBC Worldwide make? That do a crap job since I can't get
their output in Singapore. On BBC their adverts they run alongside BBC
news are shockingly bad.

At this point, I want to share media with friends that I found good on
BBC iplayer. Not charge or distribute "en masse". Is that legal? A dir
with a robots.txt disallow for example.

They should switch to HTML5 video. I guess one reason they might not
be doing this, as it makes the API to download the media far easier
than the opaque Flash API at present.

Btw I managed to compress, with same quality AFAICT 338M
