I would guess it's a collection of 3D reference materials that the club 
funds paid for, available for every member of the club to use. Kinda 
straight forward, I think... =)

Again, seems about right to me!

This part does not seem right to me... Most libraries either pay less 
than or regular price for books, and make them available for sharing. 
That is the WHOLE premise. Why would anyone want to charge 5 time the 
normal price to a library? I understand the theoretical loss to the 
original author, but to be fair, how many members of the club running 
this Library would have bought all 5 videos independently? Answer: most 
likely NONE. So instead of one or two  single, individual sales of one 
or two of the available videos, the author sold all 5 at regular price. 
Seems like he made out to me! Not to mention all the free advertising 
he has received here on Photo-3D... ;) 

So, what is the problem?
