I’ve never bought any of these but it seems their business model is collecting all this stuff from various web sources and selling them on data DVDs. Potentially, a fair amount of this stuff could be public domain materials (one could collect all sorts of on-line NASA documents and sell them like this all day long...it’s all public domain), but some of the sources may certainly be copyrighted and that might create a problem.
But then you got that guy who does Morerockets and sells Estes clone kits with xeroxed copies of Estes instructions in the kit bags. Now, how he gets away with that I’m not sure (and I know we have discussed his stuff here before), but I don’t recall if he has gotten permission from Estes to do that or what.
