Group Buy: Sony Vegas + DVD Academic License

Hello. About a month ago, academic resellers permanently removed the Sony Vegas + DVD software from their catalogs.
Thus, students and staffs alike had Sony Vegas standalone available for purchase and not the +DVD package.

Some of us students may prefer the whole package and not just Vegas. And thus, some of us are holding off on the purchase.
I found that few/several academic resellers sell the Vegas+DVD package as a "lab package."
Meaning, students can purchase a 10-license pack of the Vegas+DVD package at a much reduced price.


10-License Pack Resellers
I found www.ccvsoftware.com listed on the Sony Pictures Digital Academic Pricing page (http://mediasoftware.sonypictures.com/education/academicpricing.asp)
Ventura Educational Systems (http://www.venturaes.com/index_new.asp?http://www.venturaes.com/sonydigital/index.html) also has the 10-lab pack license.
Studica.com (http://www.studica.com/SonicFoundry/) has a cheaper price for a 10-pack license.


Please list your name if you would be interested:

Question: How are you going to confirm that those participating are part of an Academic organisation and thus can "benefit" from the Sony Academic offer? Maybe I have missed something here, but you may wish to inform Sony of your idea and maybe they can assist you in your wish to proved this offer on to what could be total strangers? . .

Best regards,

Grazie

All participants will need to send via e-mail, their photo ID from the eligible institution (university, high school, and etc.) to one person. Most, if not all academic resellers require a photo ID and that is exactly what we will do. Then the purchaser will place an order and send all 10 photos via e-mail.

I am not quite sure yet on how all 10 buyers will gather the funds to place the order.
Usually on an online group buy, all interested buyers send out their funds (Paypal or Money Order) to one person, whom will place the order. The order is then sent out to the purchaser, and depending on the company, orders can also be shipped directly to all buyers' address. But in our case, the order will be sent out to the purchaser.


I will call all the companies and figure if 10 packaged boxes are sent out or if 1 packaged box is sent out with 10 licenses (serial numbers).
