Now, you can ignore my mailing suggestions and keep jacking up your costs unnecessarily, but don't complain about the expense of the materials, postage or your time. I think we all know how expensive it is, and I don't think anybody here is made of money. You're not alone. I think most of us would agree that it is reasonable to expect to recover direct costs (blank discs and shipping costs).

However, to expect to recover the cost of your components or time on a project for whose intellectual property you don't own is overstepping your boundaries and expectations. LD rips and fan reedits ... these are hobbies, not careers. Reset your expectations and you'll be a lot happier in the end with the response your product gets. Keep trying to profit off of this and the long arm of the law will come and put a smackdown on you ... not to mention you'll piss of the majority of this board. Plus, breaking the forum rules by selling material vs. trading or giving away material is also a quick way to have this conduit rent from you altogether.
