Hello there. I am very sorry that these people have to be so difficult. Second edition stuff was great and it can still be useful to supplement and flavor your 3.0, 3.5, and 4th edition materials. The company does not sell the cd. They don't make money off it. There is no guilt in obtaining it the easy way. These people have told you the hard way.
HERE IS THE EASY WAY:
1. Download uTorrent.
2. Install uTorrent.
3. Go to website:
www.thepiratebay.com
4. Search for Ad&d core rules or search for TSR and you will find a 459 MB file called ad&d core rules (it is a Torrent file).
5. Dowload ad&d core rules torrent file
6. Run uTorrent.
7. Double click on ad&d core rules or Add the file with the menu bar in utorrent. This will add the file in uTorrent and start downloading the actual AD&D core rules cd to your computer(in ISO format).
8. Let utorrent download the file.
9. Download Daemon Tools which is a program that creates a virtual cd drive.
10. In Daemon Tools or in my computer click on your new virtual cd rom drive (the one that wasn't there before) and select mount.
11. Choose to mount ad&d core rules iso file to your new virtual cd drive.
12. Install the Ad&d core rules, or view at your pleasure. Mine even came with the Forgotten Realms Interacive Atlas.
13. Enjoy.
