you split the cost? Or do you?<br>

We actually used burnt disks to speed up the process (we started posting the very day it was released) and it came down to one person lined up those wanting to donate with those wanting to receive. We posted out well over 50 CDs in the one release, mainly to the rural areas where Internet speeds are extremely poor and downloading a whole CD isn't viable.<br>
<br>The same process could easily be used with pressed CDs, just collect money via paypal or a similar service and get others to donate time to package and post. The hardest part is writing the first email, we had much more people wanting to donate than we had asking for help so it went very smoothly.<br>
