 RS> Found anyone flogging direct copys of CDROMs ?

no, but i hear that there are people around sydney selling such things.
they are usually burnt to order on cd-r equipment. i haven't seen any
"commercial" attempts at such forgery, all the chinese disks that
i have seen have been anthologies, some with $20k odd worth of software. it
looks like now russia is becoming the centre of this activity, with even
the merchants of the imfamous golden arcade in hong kong getting very
cagey.
