[9] "Fair and reasonable terms" means that the publisher, producer or creator may be required to donate a copy of the work for which the marginal cost of the extra copy is insignificant relative to the production run or overall production cost of the work in question ie without being subjected to undue cost or hardship. For example:
A "consumer format" copy of the work such as a book, CD, diskette, video cassette, journal, newspaper, etc.
A "professional format" copy of a work such as a limited edition book or portfolio, master videotape, film print, etc. where such copy represents a very small proportion of the overall production budget.
