@Bruce@allovertheplace.ca All I can tell you is why I'm personally not bothered by NLS offering dramas in its collection. First, while many of the older OTR dramas can be downloaded at no cost or purchased at very inexpensive prices from various online stores, a lot of less tech-savvy patrons won't have the skills or resources to take advantage of this. Since NLS is starting to offer commercial audio books, they may as well not limit their collection to books and include commercially available dramas. Also, public libraries include dramas, as well, and audio drama is something that a lot of blind people enjoy, anyway. If they were including drama and decreasing the number of audio books they were adding I'd be concerned but there's no sign that this is happening.
