I thought that I'd better let you know about this, although I suspect that you already are aware of it and have acted accordingly.
 
I have a copy of Volume I of the Hungarian course, and it has a 1994 copyright in it in the name of the authors, printed by Hippocrene.  Is this a problem?

Hippocrene took the original, rescaled to a smaller book and has been selling the rescaled book under its name. There's nothing wrong with what Hippocrene did since the original stuff is in the public domain in the USA. It's just that Westerwick chose to donate a copy of the original books and tapes for free distribution here, while Hippocrene took Vol. 1's text, rescaled it, added a cover page and sells it for a small profit.

I'm very glad to hear it!
 
When the site was down for a few days, I was deathly afraid that it had to shut down because of copyright problems.  There are of course any number of companies that are attempting to make a buck off of the FSI courses, and I'm sure that none of them are happy that this site is around.

I have no voice on any of the Hungarian lessons, is this normal?

How did you download the MP3 files? Use "Save As" in your browser and try to play them using an MP3 player like WinAmp, VLC or iTunes. - The hungarian lessons work perfectly for me, so I doubt they are broken.
