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.
