iPlayer's paid for
by the BBC, hence the license fee. As is the content streamed over it.

It's all GeoIP locked to make sure you can only see it in the UK (license-fee-payer area).

if you're watching it live, as it's being broadcast. "If you use the BBC iPlayer to watch BBC programmes after they have been broadcast - either to download, or via streaming 'on demand' you will not need a TV Licence."
