Dor I think that you overestimate a bit. If you organize "burning" event at some kind of Linux show or conference, I think a lot of people would agree to pay up for the media. And it would still be very cheap - how much the media could cost? Simple check on zap reveals that you can get a 50 pack for 32 NIS, which makes about .60 per disk. In addition, you can tell people to bring the CD with them, or ask sponsors of the even to help a bit with this.
What was that event btw? Alex.
