I guess they changed it at some point in time, because I was able to
download two years of stuff not very long ago. I deleted it all once I
got what I needed from there. :-( And now I can't get it again. I only
pay for the $9.99 per month service, so I guess you're right - I can't
get the old stuff anymore and would have to pay extra for it.
