Legal downloads

Why is it so difficult to find a source of legal downloads of TV shows and even movies?

The Gorse Fox wanted to watch a show that had been recommended to him – and whilst many versions can be found online, the only one that he has any real faith is “legal” is that provided (at a small price) through iTunes. All the other versions seem to be p2p downloads or streams. GF wants to be able to go to something like BBC iPlayer – select ANY episode (not just recent ones) and download a show or movie which he can then watch as often and for however long he wishes (i.e. it does not expire). He also want to be able to view it on his PC, his phone, or his TV depending on how the mood takes him and whether he watching alone, or with the Silver Vixen, or whilst travelling.

For now, he has capitulated to the evil Skynet Apple, and downloaded from iTunes.

I think you might hear some (at least partially) interesting news on this subject coming from Apple tomorrow evening... fingers crossed.
