This isn't out of line, not at all!
I asked Fanderson what their policies are towards this sort
of thing. Firstly, they *of course* would rather that people
join the club in addition to purchasing the CD, because the money
raised from club memberships help provide the capital to
produce these sorts of items. Also, Fanderson is limited by their
contracts with the copyright holders to only sell to club members. By
encouraging the sale to non-club members they risk not being allowed to
produce any more such products in the future.
That said, Fanderson *does* typically allow club members to purchase two
or three copies of particular item, as conceivably a single club member
could actually have a use for a few copies. For example, a backup copy
or a copy for a friend.
Any more than two or three copies will likely not be allowed, as people
who want to purchase this many copies are likely the sorts of folk who
will be selling them for $150 each on eBay.
I'm sure Nick will correct me if I've made any mistakes in the above
statements.... :-) He tells me that there have already been 200 copies
of the UFO soundtrack CD pre-ordered! I don't know how many copies they
are limited to selling by the copyright holders, but I think the number
was about 1000 on the long sold-out Space:1999 Year One CD.
