BBC's iPlayer launches Christmas Day

Terms and Conditions

When the iPlayer was first released it was possible to copy the entire set of terms and conditions from the T&C text box to a Word document or similar. Thus it was easier to review the 4 x A4 pages of restrictive clauses, and notice that nowhere is it mentioned that in order to use it, you should have a current TV licence. Happy Days.

Anyway the BBC have now rectified this er problem and you can no longer select all the text, and instead have to view all the T&C's in a tiny 2"x2" text box - I'm sure there's a webpage you can visit with the constantly changing T&C's, but if you can't select and copy the text you can't prove what you agreed to at the time of installation. Well - short of copying it all out, and that's not going to happen is it?
