Peter from Spalding is not impressed by the BBC Trust's iPlayer approval

The torturous path to the BBC actually launching the long-awaited iPlayer got a little shorter with the announcement that the BBC Trust has approved the plans.
This hasn't impressed everybody though.
Faced with the ability to download TV programmes from the last 7 days over the internet for free, with 30 days to watch the files, Peter from Spalding was less than happy.
He had the honour of being the first, and at the time of writing this, so far the only person to comment on the Daily Mail's online coverage of the story:
"Repeats of repeats then."

Day of the Triffids
If everyone suddenly went blind, how long would the Internet survive, and could you still publish news on it?
With professionals of this quality, who needs 'citizen journalist' enemies?
It is hard to argue that ethics and quality set the 'professional journalist' apart from the amateur blogger, if the 'professional' keeps publishing articles so wrong that they have to be deleted.
