I was in agreement with the guy, right up until he mentioned he was charging for it. You can do this as a labour of love or a free open source project, but once you start charging for it you're profiting off the work of others.
It's not CBC's mandate to allow their name & content to be used without permission for the profit of a 3rd party. In fact, it's directly against their best interests to allow this.
There are clearly ways to do this properly. Last time I checked Radium for OS X and TuneIn Radio for iOS and Android are still for sale and doing fine, despite offering a desktop or mobile player for all of CBC's streams AND charging for it.
