limits on downloading (CD read/write drives)

[Margaret Phillips <mphillip@library.berkeley.edu>]

Our workstation support group is thinking about installing CD read/write 
drives on all of the library's public access PCs. Our PCs are open to the 
public therefore allowing drop-in users to potentially download a lot of 
data onto a CD. Does the availability of CD read/write drives conflict with 
licensing language that restricts downloading (i.e. limiting to a certain 
percentage of total or limiting downloading to a "reasonable" amount 
or  for "personal use" only.)?

Any thoughts and experiences you can share that would shed light on this 
issue would be most appreciated.
