I have no problems paying for BBC products, either, with a few notes.

1) I want to be able to download and keep the files forever.  I don't trust the cloud.  The cloud means that the content could go away again.

2) I don't want DRM.  If you have DRM on your audio files then their value to me falls exponentially.  I will also strip any DRM, rules be damned.  This goes back to wanting to be able to keep the files forever, and also use them on a device of my choosing.

3) A reasonable price -- $1.99 per episode of JAM seems a little steep, which is what it's going for on iTunes.  Especially when there's an archive of over 700 episodes.  I won't pay $1,400 for a complete JAM collection.

I've bought a lot of BBC products over the years, and I continue to do so.

I have no problem at all with paying for BBC products. If the Beeb put all JAM online in pristine condition for a fee, I'd be in there like a shot with my Visa card.

We don't share BBC commercial CD releases, and I don't like feeling sordid for working to recover lost episodes and upgrade poor quality old JAM recordings.
