I've really struggled with this parts CD thing.  I'd dearly love to have
one, just so I could look up part numbers without bugging the local dealer
(they never have the parts I need in stock anyway.)  I would buy a
legitimate new CD for as much as I have paid for a new Bentley, because I
think I would use it as much, but it doesn't appear the publishers want us
common folk to have access to this information.  Why is that?

As for bootleg copies, I understand the publishers have vigilantly pursued
and shut down even those who have made them available free.  I would imagine
someone burning these at $25 a pop will attract their attention real fast.
That said, I'd still love to have one.  Is there a way to get an copy
without incurring the wrath of copyright issues?  Do the dealers discard the
old versions when they get updates?  Is bootlegging the only way for a true
VW fanatic to get one?
