Hi, I think I was not clear from my part. Initial idea which I got from Trevor's mail was 1. Person will pay 100 rs as membership and _*take desired CD with him*_ and then return after he is done.
What I wanted to say was, if you (have/can arrange for) cd-writer 1. Above belief would be true by default. 2. By charging the extra amount librarian would cover charges for blank CDs and the CD-Writer usage (I think this is allowed by the license issues.). In this way, user will get his own copy and without hassles of searching of writer/cds himself. 3. if he takes the cd and copies on his own its of no business to us as you said.
Cheers.
