Yes I do, and getting more all the time as I rise on the
learning curve. I posted the question on this list some time ago

Yes, that would be a necessity. Copyright holders are all over
the map on this one ($-wise), but I'm having some success after
indicating that digital is where we're headed, and companies
that can't offer their titles at reasonable cost obviously won't
be a player in a new, digital, on-demand scenario.
