Default Need help on SEIV GOLD

I do not have SEIV Gold - I'd like to buy it but I have a problem concerning which Shrapnel Customer Service has declared that they cannot help me.

The size of the patch files necessary to upgrade Gold and the TDM Modpack make both too large for me to download. Why that is so is not really the issue here, but I am more or less limited in download to floppy sized files (1.44 meg). I do not think that unpatched Gold is worth my limited funds to me, as one fix that I feel necessary is the one that made the AIs realize that they have the bonus when they plan. Another critical one is the warp point sequence fix over the original game that made the lower number player always go first.

So, my Q to Shrapnel was would they sell me a disk (in addition to the Gold disk) that would let me extract the Gold and TDM Modpack patches. I was told they c/would not do that. Shrapnel would happily sell me Gold, has put the patch on their website, but claimed that they had no knowledge of anything called a TDM Modpack. Then Customer service went on to add:

"Our distribution methods for patches have nothing to do with our production capabilities. While we appreciate your offer to pay for the service, we are bound by contractual agreements with the creators of the patches as to how we may distribute the files. Again, I'm confused by your comment concerning the TDM Modpack."

Is there a lawyer in the House, er, on the Board? Isn't it legal for anyone here to take those patch files freely available on the site, burn them onto a CD, and mail them to an address I'd supply for a guy like me who cannot download them? I'd recompense, gladly.
