Hypothetically speaking . . .

Suppose an anonymous person hypothetically wanted to download a recording from the Web . . . what would be the best way for this unnamed person to hypothetically do so? Any recommended hypothetical sites?

Let me add that I don't THINK it would be illegal in this particular case -- and I tend to be extremely strict in my ethics about these things (which is why I don't know how to go about this), so I hope it's not. I just wanted to try to hear a recording of BBC Radio's dramatization of Our Mutual Friend that aired late last year, but it's not on CD. And as far as I can tell from the people I've spoken to, who seem never to have even heard of it (nice well-informed staffers you've got there, BBC), there don't seem to be any plans to put it on CD. I'd happily buy it open-and-aboveboard if I could, but there doesn't seem to be any way to do so.

(Speaking of OMF, I recently did a four-part review of the 1998 miniseries if anyone's interested. You can see all four parts via this link, but be warned, it's full of spoilers.)

Tis a hard thing - I managed to catch most of this on Listen Again when it aired the first time. I contacted the composer about the soundtrack, and he implied that they were doing a CD release soon, but that was last year...
