Actually, he (she?) did indicate how to buy things -- reply via e-mail
[although I suspect this account is now closed...] and they would
"definately ship once payment was received" [oh, wait, am I forgetting
<sarcasm> tags?]  He also said something to the effect of "CDR's are of
course cheap, so there is no reason for me to rip you off", then goes on a
sentance later to say "most of the work I'm doing is defeating the copy
protection schemes" [yes, I definately think I'm forgetting <sarcasm> tags!]
which <sarcasm> explains why he feels "obligated" to charge $50 or more for
one item, yet only $15 or less for others </sarcasm>  If the cost were the
same, and he doesn't want to "rip you off", then the price he charges should
be the same for all single CD copies...

Actually, Robert, there is the possibility that YOUR ISP blocks and/or
filters out spam such as this -- if things progress the way they have for
the last few years, I expect people will start to pay a premium to have
their ISP do this "reliably" [meaning ALL true "spam" is blocked, while
absolutely no "mail from a friend" is blocked...]
