A while back someone was looking to covert the RP files into another  
format, and they did so with my blessing, and I encouraged whoever it  
was to distribute them far and wide. I don't remember what happened  
there.

The RP files were professionally filmed and created by our distance  
learning staff (and hence why they're of much better quality than the  
stuff I posted to blip.tv, which is just me sticking down a cheap  
camcorder on an overhead projector in the middle of the room.) I can't  
really _sell_ DVDs of them, since I'd need to start looking into all  
sorts of copyright issues if I did so. I show slides schematics in  
people's original handwriting - all stuff easily found on the web -  
use small music clips in my into lectures, etc. I can justify that  
legally under educational fair use provisions, and if I were to sell  
things that would break.
