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?
