In this country it is illegal to listen to radio signals that are not 
intended for your consumption. Of course none of these stations are 
transmitting the required identification and are based in foreign 
jurisdictions. There is of course a legal question as to whether someone 
could be prosecuted for listening to a station that is itself unlawful so I 
think that early morning knock on the door is unlikely to happen. Hopefully 
the powers that be have bigger problems than us.

There was debate about the copyright of the Cornet project with someone who 
wanted to use it in a film or as a music sample which was settled out of 
court. The fact that it was filed in court and the cornet project is still 
in shops suggests that it is probably completely lawful to listed to 
recordings of these stations.

I guess Mossad would still own the copyright in a strictly legal sense 
though. Maybe we should drop a royalty cheque by the Israeli embassy.
