You can always upload your level to ftp.cdrom.com. I upload my levs there so other people can play 'em, And i know some companies are making money out of it. If you don't like that, don't buy there CDs and don't upload your level. I think most people who make levels want other people to play em, so they upload them and they get on CDs. So, what i wanna say is: you're wrong, being sure that A LOT of people will play your level is a good prize.
