Running a centralised shipit program would be too costly as well as
requiring dedicated manpower. Instead a decentralised system like filling
up a wiki page of those who have the CDs and those wanting one is more cost
effective and also improves 'the social network' within the community.

Also, by setting up a shipit like service, people would expect better or
professional artwork on CDs and CD covers which would up the cost further.
