Just because 3DRealms tells you it's illegal, doesn't make it so. It
would be worth reviewing. I'd like to hear the opinion of a neutral
expert in copyright/patent/software license law. This issue is bound
to come up again in the computer game industry.

3DRealms got at least one other vendor of such a CD to halt production
a few years ago. I don't know the details. That victory could have
been because 3DR had the law on its side, or it could have been
because the vendor didn't feel the profits from the disc would offset
the cost of a legal battle.
