   My county has virtually the same copyright, and sells a GIS DVD for 
$500.  For the time being, I have given up the idea of any import - the 
biggest gain for me would be addresses, but other than that, not much; I 
don't care about buildings at the moment.

   I am keeping an eye out for any state legislation that might make 
taxpayer-funded GIS data public domain so that I can prod my local 
representatives to support it with confidence.
