[QUOTE="jadrax, post: 5930495, member: 7175"] From my experience, it is sadly not anywhere close to zero. For starters, if it was not intended to be sold digitally, (which nothing in back catalogue was), you need to update the legal terms and conditions. This means paying lawyers. Then you have to actually scan in it properly, resource the original art so it dosen't look like a blurred mess because your only copy is 20 years old and has blurred. Then you discover your not sure you have the rights to the art any more due to some technical :):):):) your lawyer is spouting that no-one in the office really understands, and you end up having to hunt down an artist that hates your guts and sweet talk him in his god-awful bedsit in Leeds. Meanwhile, the intern has pointed out that Digital Content only sells if it has OCR and Hyperlinking, which he gets put in charge of and promptly screws up, meaning when you get back from Leeds you have to spend the day reversing his screw ups. And then, after you have done all of this, only three people buy the thing because its been pirated by anyone who wanted it five years ago. All hypothetically of course. [/QUOTE]
