Agreed. However, this particular CD is being given away by "Courtesy of
the German Culture Club". I wanted to make sure foolish people would not
be able to claim the GCC was some how making money from these poor,
captive, high school students. The contents of the CD are free to be
copied, burned, sold or given away.
Upon reflection, I should have put that line up under the GCC line.
More comments, please, before I make any more labels.
