It would certainly only be legal for those entitled to watch BBC - Which includes some in the states with various sky packages I think -
This is also the case for the BBC and BBCradio scripts and indeed the numerous streaming scripts that use BBC News 24/BBC 1/BBC Parliament and similar.
As for DRM - Firstly they have said, as someone pointed out that they are aiming eventually to make it work on linux. This likely means no DRM.
Even if there is DRM on it several hacks are available these days to strip DRM off the recording with little fuss.
Might require a local network PC to act as a proxy though :-(
Still when it becomes linux compatable I'd be surprised if we can't manage something.
