A good place to start looking for cheaply available LANDSAT data is your
local library.  The bigger the library, the better a chance you have that
they might have a tape covering an area/time frame you're interested in.
Now, Jay MacDonald's posting described some of the intracacies of the
copyright with respect to LANDSAT images.  But, if "enhancements" are
allowed to be made available (such as a histogram equalization?) without
the same copyright infringements applying, then you're in business.

Anyway, check out your local library because they may be able to help you
without charging you anything.
