I have a couple friends who've tried to get this CD, too, and have run into the same issue. I think it's complicated by the fact that Oliver Computing holds the copyright on the database/search engine program that it comes with and would prefer to keep selling it, but the Estate didn't renew the copyright on the content, so you'd need permission from both to even make a legal copy to give to a friend. Rumors I've heard indicate that the Estate is working on getting a 'digital media' deal figured out but that the legalities are complex. This doesn't surprise me too much, but it sure makes me angry because it's such a useful product and I would like my friends to be able to legally get a copy.
