----------------------------Original message---------------------------- One good thing going for CDROM as a form of info distibution is that extra copies cost next to nothing, so it is easy enough for a provider to say that a legit customer who swears their rom was stolen can have a replacement for $5. Not to say that every provider will be so sensible, but they COULD be. With a large format atlas with lots of color and special binding techniques, the cost of production can EASILY exceed $10, and once stolen, it is just as useful (not requiring any kind of license to use it).
