yes, you make a good point Sebastian, however this kind of cd it is a major disincentive for publishers to put out books in our area, which are likley to not sell many anyhow, and it's hard enough to persuade someone to put out something about magic as it is, without the caveat of piracy

and the seller is not doing it for any noble scholarly engagement cause, of course
