If a message to this forum has any "potential commercial value", then that value has already been impacted by the fact that said message is already available for free in at least three publicly accessible on-line archives. Making it available on CD-ROM only provides yet another source where said message can be found, and has no significant (if any) further impact on the "potential commercial value" of said message. Further, if that message is made available on CD-ROM, it is entirely reasonable for the producer of said CD-ROM to charge a certain amount of money for it. After all, the producer had to spent money in order to create that CD-ROM, and therefore deserves a reasonable compensation for it.
