Actually, it's only not a pain on the other side of the Atlantic if the person on the other side of the Atlantic is net-connected, and willing to violate US law (yes, I know, non-US citizens should not be subject to US law; if laws counted in GDP, the US would not have a trade imbalance). It seems to me that you, as a CDROM producer, should not be willing to limit your market to "people with CDROMs AND net connections" (IMO).
