Actually, I dealt with a company that did the same thing.  Their disks
DID go thru erasure so I would stongly suspect that the disks you got
would also be erased.  After all, their cost to erase a disk is minute
compared to the possible $50,000 fine for copyright violations.
I come to the conclusion that selling disks from defunct programs/programmers
is not unusual in the low-cost bulk disk world.     -- Darren
