Ever since I pre-ordered the DSotM Redux Yellow vinyl from Fnac, I keep getting emails from them about releases that may interest me.
Today, they sent me a list of other Roger Waters releases, like the Lockdown Sessions and this one 6 CD set that was titled "Live on Air (The Broadcast Archives)". I couldn't find any tracklist on Fnac, but another site has this description:
"Limited 6 compact disc box set from ROGER WATERS. Radio broadcasts from 2002-2008 including the legendary songs Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Welcome To The Machine and many more. Some available on disc for the first time!"
Roger Waters | Live On Air (The Broadcast Archives) - 6CD DIGISLEEVE - Prog Rock / Prog Metal | Season of Mist (season-of-mist.com)
This is the cover:
I did see a similar listing on Amazon UK, but the cover is different and it is a 5 CD set, as opposed to a 6 CD set:
The Broadcast Archives (5cd): Amazon.co.uk: CDs & Vinyl
This one has a different timeframe and more details:

Any idea if these are legit releases or semi-legit ones, like the Pros and Cons Interviews CD?
Is it like the equivalent of buying MP3s from those Russian sites years ago, which were a fraction of the cost of the MP3s on iTunes, because Russia had some (ahem!) different copyright laws?
If not official (and if Roger isn't getting any royalties for this), I'd rather stick to my HRV releases and the others I've collected from Y!
