When an opportunity to purchase something like this comes along, it would be good to purchase it as a club, or group. As a lay person interested in law, I believe that is legal. If, however, several individuals get together to "rig a bid", that is collusion, which you'd better not get caught doing at a federal bankruptcy auction!

Seems this sort of thing would be a good investment of list assets, so long as we are not intending to violate copyright laws. Oh dear, another can o' worms!
