You're missing just how easy it is to write a quick script that downloads all the content and stores it on your hard drive. Subscribe for a month, write the script in an hour or so, unsubscribe, and you're done. I did this for one of these services and the most annoying thing was correcting the inconsistent names they gave their audio files.
You can do this with anything - works great with programming screencasts, for example. If it's the type of service that regularly updates, you can just resubscribe for a month once in a while to grab the new stuff.
