It's not illegal to *distribute* it on CD with a charge to cover the cost of the CD, as far as I know. Selling it for a profit is illegal though, as you do not own the copyright for the software you're selling.

its not illegal to sell stuff on cd such as game demos and patches is it? They are paying for your time to get hold of the demo/patch and then put it on cd, not the actual demo/patch.

Yes, selling* copyrighted material w/o permission is illegal.  Sierra goes through and has ebay remove these items when they find them, but it looks like they missed a few.  Thanks.

 Now is it just me or is selling valve owned programs and update patches not only wrong but illegal? i'd really like to see this dork punished. So feel free to spam him with emails detailing how big a dork he is...... and for doing the biggest injustice of it all trying to extend the already huge cheating problem in online games.
