Well, copyright law, for one thing... The music and video industry
actively, and juridically, harasses any and all on whom they can try
to pin "piracy" charges. There certainly would be a danger doing
that kind of conversion "commercially", as a free-lancer. And
getting Sony to surrender the DVD rights would probably be more than difficult.
I don't want to start a debate about that here, although I must
admit it would be entertaining to see news of Glenn Gould appearing
in these lawsuits, instead of the typical "top 40's" (to draw a
connection to the *other* discussion here, about Gould's diminishing presence).

If SONY doesn't want to convert this set into DVDs, what's to keep
some daring, enterprising music lover from doing it, and then
selling them privately? At $200. it'd be a great bargain, and
probably a required, guaranteed purchase by every college, school
and university that offers a degree in music. I bet Bruno
Montsaigneon could tell us why this isn't happening.
