OK, I'll give you that. My basis was, that we don't know he's not going 
to sell them. Not anything against Rich, but you can't be too careful 
can you? That's why it's not an appropriate topic for a mailing list. 
If it involves a possibility of illegal activity in any way, it 
shouldn't be discussed here. However, most commercial DVD's are copy 
protected. So one can't re-produce them very easily. My two cents.
