RE: ETKA CD's

[c a l i b a n <caliban@sharon.net>]

	suggestions for what, exactly.  selling them privately is
	at the risk - and probably relatively minor risk - of the
	buyers and seller.  if it was me, i'd do it thru some kind
	of hotmail address with forged information.  i brought up
	my points at  the suggestion of getting monies from the
	sales to the q-list, etc.  selling audi's copyrighted 
	material to fund someting audi-related that even uses their
	trademark name is bound to set off alarms.  this is all
	archived, by the way.  the alarms could go off years
	later.
