Well, IMHO, if someone's going to buy this CD then he well deserves this  .
On a corresponding proposition, though... what do _you_ guys think of making such CD backups of the archives? For example, Marko (maintainer of funet.fi's Commodore archive) has created and spread such cd's of the funet.fi /pub/cbm and /pub/cpm structure a few years ago. Personally speaking, it was of great help for me since it saved me time and bandwidth. Well, back then (even 1-2 years ago) bandwidth has been an issue; today (at least for me) it really isn't. Still, I'd be more comfortable with the ability to have a snapshot, a static archive of the material organized/hosted by p4w.
(I don't mean some kind of "online" cd ordering and the fluff like that. Not even the funet cd's were sold such way; Marko offered those in relatively small numbers, and we solved the "problem" of spreading them locally. I also copied them and sent to people who asked, for just the costs of material and postaging).
