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? |
If the events occurred as described in the article. Sega is at fault here. Period. Sega had property disposed of that didn't belong to them. The person disposing of the items didn't steal them. They were literally hired by Sega to remove all the items remaining in the building. The person buying the materials were buying scrapped items. So Sega is the one that should be penalized here. They were at fault. This is them shirking repsonsiblity for their mistake. The proper course of action would have been to reimburse the person that bought the goods and then return them to Nintendo.
