   I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant that you can buy from the Cinematic   
   Titanic Web site and receive an actual DVD (no downloading anything),   
   just as you would from Amazon. I've done that for every release and have   
   been properly charged and a few days later a DVD came in the mail. All   
   very professional.   
   I just meant that the downloading regimen that was described above is   
   not the only option and I didn't want people to be writing off CT   
   because of that misunderstanding.

   Not now, not ever. In a number of interviews, the cast have noted that   
   CT is their company, and they are doing everything, right down to   
   fulfillment (i.e. actually packaging up and sending out the orders).   
   They aren't just "the talent." They are actually running this business   
   and they say they are applying the lessons they have learned from the   
   previous businesses they were, ahem, involved with.   
      
   Sampo (they're coming to Philadelphia in June and I CAN. NOT. WAIT.)
