"Worth selling" and "selling" are not always mutually exclucive concepts in
this sorry world of ours.

True, nobody *said* they wanted to sell a CD, but I got the distinct
impression that there were one or two that *wanted* to sell it, perhaps as
part of a book in progress.
Sheer speculation, of course. But, having been 'round the block a time or
two, I've developed a fairly accurate ability to smell a rat from a mile off.
>In reality the market demand is probably something like 50 archive CDs for
$10--I can't imagine it would be worth any one contributor's time to pursue
reimbursement and I can't believe there's a lawyer or court in the land
that would take the case.
In reality, anyone who *wants* a CD can simply download the archives from
one of the many places hosting it, and burn the CD for themselves.
The only rational complaint that I can fathom would be someone who wanted
to not "merely" download and burn a CD for himself, but rather, someone who
wanted to *sell* copies of said CD.
