I'm not sure how much embarrassment this would cause me, since I 
setup the Peel tape chain in the mid-90s (anyone out there part of 
this?) which would have been as shaky legally as this - though with 
the BPI and RIAA suing filesharers for vast amounts of cash  these 
days it'd maybe to be better safe than sort... plus, the mechanics of 
arranging to send DVDs out to private address etc might best kept off 
what is essentially a public forum.
Sadly, I can't  participate myself - recently acquired a PC which was 
*supposed* to contain a DVD burner, but i discovered that some cheeky 
scamp had replaced the device with a read-only unit!
I won't say 'good luck' as obviously I can't endorse anything so 
inherently wicked - and don't forget that filesharing & DVD burning 
is killing music, and not the head-in-the-sand approach of the majors 
to technology and their penchant for easy, gone-tomorrow manufactured 
pop.
Cheers

Stuart
