Did you read the article? I've seen your back and forth with Pemalite. I really dont get how you could make your posts after reading the article. |
Did you two read the article? Let me help you with that.
 And like I said before... It is common knowledge among game resellers that these dev kits are not to be sold to the public. So the reseller knew full well he was conducting an illegal purchase of Nintendo's property. That's the bottom line, unless you can quote some legal loophole in the U.K. that magically makes the dev kits the property of Sega or the scrap yard or a Sega employee. If I borrow a game from you and sell it a garage sale and the purchaser knows it is not mine is that a legitimate purchase? |
Companies terms of service, EULA does not override your consumer rights.
In Australia, which is often based on UK law, secondhand purchases are generally not bound by a company's original terms of service, as the terms of service contract is between the manufacturer and the original purchaser.
Also. Read the article and start putting consumers before big business/rich. It's silly. |
What?
If someone sells something they don't have a right to sell, then that's selling stolen goods and the original owner has a right to recover it. It doesn't matter if the owner is a company or an individual. The line cerebralbore outlines above shows that the kits belonged to Nintendo so unless someone at Nintendo signed off on the deal, then they *can't* be legally purchased. Not unless the UK has some strange law that allows theft. I'm less inclined to blame the guy who purchased them as he may be unaware that the kits were Nintendo's property, but whether he's aware or not, stolen goods deserve to be restored to their rightful owners.
