If this is truely material that Ira has available on his web site, then 
it's not theft... it is profiting from Ira's hard work which is very 
unfortunatly, but I wouldn't call selling something that's freely 
available elsewhere "theft".  Forgive me if I'm mistaken on the contents 
of the DVDs.  Has anyone though of making a mirror site or using one of 
those utilities that downloads sites for off-line browsing?
