Hi Nick,

I've been musing over this one for some time. *In theory* someone could take out a paid sub with MB and then use the grabber legally. In practice I think that is unlikely. The alternative is to grab <24 hours of data, but even here the T&C are probably broken by using it.

I think, on balance, it should probably be retired. To avoid misleading people if nothing else.

Cheers,
Geoff
