These are simply plans on CD. I've never known a builder to build a plane from them. However, I do know lots of builders that have lots of plans sitting on the shelf from which they will never build a plane. They just wanted to see a preview of the plans while deciding what to build. Buying the CD as a way to inexpensively preview plans isn't a bad idea, although it would be nice if it came from the manufacturer rather than a scab leeching on society. As long as the CD is not used to build an aircraft, I don't really see the problem. For the most part, the stuff on these CDs are typically low quality scans and not really suitable to use for construction.
Here's another perspective. I do part time work as an A&P as well as an EAA Tech Counselor. I am tempted to buy the CD just to have a set of references for familiarization before I look at a plane. I don't see that me owning a CD with plans that I'll never use for construction to be a problem. Most sellers of plans only get up tight if someone is building from an unauthorized set of plans. Differing opinions are welcome?
