 But it also doesn't make them any money, relatively speaking. The
 per-disk cost of burning 50 copies is a lot more then bulk runs of
 500,000, so why bother? However, if you think there is money to be made
 then this would be a good idea for a startup business. Have studios
 forward their orders for out of print titles to you, along with a copy
 of the master, and custom make new disks.
