(I assume it's because you don't live in UK)

The rights the BBC has for programming is totally separate to how the 
license fee system is set up.  For almost all the TV programs the BBC 
don't have (and don't want) the rights to show it outside the UK. 
They'd rather sell these off to foreign broadcasters (if they own the 
content) or simply only pay for the UK rights.  The only way it is 
possible for iPlayer to exist is if it's only accessible to UK residents.
