To all those that are really pissed off by such monetizing practices: please turn your anger into something useful and just sell similar CDs yourself at fair prices! That's the simplest solution.

These best and easiest way to inform these customers/prey is on the marketplace itself! The successful keywords/style of advertising can be learned on ebay itself, and if you provide the download links right in the advertisement, your DVD burner probably won't wear off... have fun, yahvuu _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
