Idea #11475: ShipIT: Only one CD per Address.

Description

Ever since I told my friends & classmates about free Ubuntu Disks....They are on a mission. They keep making new launchpad accounts & keep requesting CD's for them. This costs canonical too much. I'm sure there must be thousands of irresponsible people like this.

Please detect duplicate addresses in launchpad accounts & send only one disk to one address.

one cd is wrong choice dude,you can say per person or per one address,see a person may give it others also should there should be little liberty when requesting.i got one cd,and happy but when i decide to give to others ? ubuntu fan order shipt cd again or pass it on?,its user decision who should use resources well rather than abuse.

No good idea. When I order my CDs, I order a lot of them so I can give them to a lot of people, and I do. I just save one for myself and the rest is out there in the world whos havent heard of Ubuntu (or have heard but not actually seen it).

The vote goes: DOWN

Wow your friends have no life.
Why would they bother wasting their time registering multiple accounts to kill off a free service?

I used to hand them out at the Apple reseller.

If they have such a mission, why don't they just add themselves to AOL's mailing list?

what’s in the color people???......I too give ubuntu to others & I am sure I give it to hell lot of more people than you..

Have you ever heard of a thing called "WRITABLE CD"???..

why don't you spend your own little cash on some writable media??..Afterall they are your friends..

Why do you make canonical loose so much just to pass it on to your friends when it can be done for almost free.

COPY it..its legal..

Is it necessary to have all that color on the DISK??

I was handing them out, at an apple reseller to customers/developers who were interesting in attempting triple booting. My boss would not have wanted me to waste money on CD-r's and time.

Then you could tell your boss that canonical has a partner programme:

http://www.ubuntu.com/partners

Or tell your bosse's customers to download it and burn it on a cd.

I like the idea. CD-Rs are cheap.
