You can copy any file to CD/DVD as long as they are not open system files
per se.

XP does this natively in ISO 9660 format for standard writable CD media. XP
cannot write data to DVD natively. 3rd party software is required.

You said you had copies. Where are the originals? Where are the copies?

Speculation on a product or material that is
an obvious need, is not speculation per se
as there is no risk to the speculator.
Common were those selling food and other
supplies in the gold rush days.
In this case, its oil and its everyone who
bites the bullet. And most everyone has no gold
to be made, just business as usual.
