I'm sure a lot of people still have the files. (I do.) But I don't know
whether it would be legal for me to upload them for you. I should probably
check the copyright notice in the front of the book, huh?

As it happens, the copyright notice at the front of the book makes no mention
whatever of the materials on the CD-ROMs. It says, "All rights reserved. No
part of this book may be reproduced in any form ... without permission in
writing from the publisher." That _could_ be read as referring to both the
print contents and the CD contents, except that the very next sentence is,
"This book was set in Times Roman by Graphic Composition, Inc...."

The clear inference is that the term "book" applies only to the printed
volume, not to the CD-ROM contents.

On the faces of the CDs it says, "The Csound Book edited by Richard
Boulanger -- The MIT Press (c) 2000 Massachusetts Institute of
Technology...." But that isn't a reference to the disc contents either, it's
an irrelevant reference to the printed book. Nor does it say anything about
what rights in the CD contents (if any) are reserved.

Unless anyone has any information that would contradict this, I'm inclined
to think uploading it for you to download would be legal.

To echo and add on to what Jim said, I have both disks still but I won't
upload them to anyone without direct permission from the publisher first
(note that I said publisher because Dr. B probably has better things to do
with his time plus this is really a question for the publisher anyway). It
would be copyright infringement otherwise regardless of who you upload it
to.

My assumption could be wrong though but I figured it wouldn't hurt to check
with the publisher for a more definitive answer. It's going to be a yes or
no answer but either way you at least asked. :)

I assumed that having bought the book I technically have a license for, and thereby permission to access the CDs. But copyright is a thorny issue and very easily taken in many different ways. 

I'll contact the publisher. Some of the chapters just aren't the same without the related files. 

Thanks anyway.

Good to know. While you're in learning mode, there are other useful
resources. Tons of examples are bundled in CsoundQt -- including the
examples from the online Floss manual. (I'm not even going to mention my
book, because it's for beginners, and I'm assuming you're past that point.)
