Monkey Island DVD content (.iso)

Hey hey,
Like many of you a long while ago I pre-ordered ToMI with the understanding I would get a free disc... Now I appreciate that TellTale has no control over the postage cost and thus it is now far to extortionate for me to even consider getting (I live in the UK) but I would still really like to hear the commentary and so forth in high quality, what I am hoping is that TellTale would be able to provide me with an image file (.iso) or similar that I could burn to DVD myself so I could get all the extras, perhaps in some sort of e-collectors edition (with any other bonuses they see fit)

Just an idea.

Cheers,
Borginator

    Yeah, a dream come true for software pirates (and not the good, swashbuckling type)...

    Well you have to have a legitimate key for the game assigned to a Telltale games account to play anyway and if they wanted they could add similar protection to the commentary (with an account activation or w/e)

    Besides, with regard to piracy, Im sure I could find the commentary on Youtube if I looked.

    Pirates are perfectly able to crack copy protection and rip a DVD. Having someone else make the ISO file would only save them a few minutes.

    Well this is it, I'm also sure that if I looked on a different swashbuckling themed website I could find the collectors DVD already.

    I already own a license allowing me access to the bonus content (given that I pre-ordered) so morally I have no objection to using the aforementioned site, with a few exceptions:
    1) I don't want to be giving it to others at the same time as I am downloading it myself.
    2) Now intellectual copyright laws for electronic media have changed in the UK I don't want to be visiting a site which may get me in to trouble for getting something I should be allowed to have. It's just not worth the headache and frankly I've never had to pirate anything before so why should I now?
    3) I can't trust what I am downloading to not have malware or be malicious in some way.

    So you see, all this could be alleviated by telltale providing the bonus content as a download for all those who have pre-orderd the game.
    Hell, if bandwidth is an issue I would even pay a token amount (maybe £2 with £1 going to the telltale charity stuff)

    Anyone else have an opinion?
    Would love for a Telltale member of staff to respond (with good or bad news).
