iPlayer Day: Jonathan Murphy on rights

My role is to work with the rights and scheduling team to make sure Vision is offering the best range of programming for iPlayer and that it's all rights cleared. Additionally, I work with Vision to make sure what's on iPlayer is editorially compliant and co-ordinate with the Editorial Operations team to make sure anything that's not is removed swiftly.
The Rights and Scheduling team is really important, because without it, there wouldn't be any content available to put on iPlayer which is no use to anyone. As iPlayer has grown in popularity over the last year, it's become available on more media platforms - TV, mobile and games consoles. That's made our jobs a lot more complicated and a lot more challenging - but that's its appeal.
Working on iPlayer is great because we're pioneering and driving media consumption in a new way. What we're offering has changed the viewing habits of millions of people, who seem to really enjoy the service (at least that's what my friends say, but they tend to be polite).
Jonathan Murphy, Senior Editorial Development Manager for iPlayer.

Why are my rights as a UK citizen on the end of a UK registered IP address being denied my rights to access iPlayer because "I'm all of a sudden not from the UK" ??
Sick to death of this I am.
