I'm forced to download this dvd since i'm out of other options, i live in canada so i couldn't attend any events, and i don't have a way to py for shipping to get someone else to send it to me.


I wasn't aware just how devalued the canadian currency is against the dollar nowadays Smile

Now, I dunno if you can trust that SuperJerms fella, but there were multiple witnesses too. MS could rescend it, but they wouldn't because a) the whole marketing thing I said before and b) it would go over like the Nintendo/Suicide Girls thing. They won't do it.

Copyright really is an worksmanship owner thingy, so it's all good. Like has been said, it's a mark of who gets paid in a paid reproduction scenario. And this is a free distribution scenario until MS says otherwise.

Ebay is legal too, if they're selling their personal copies (not extras given out or burned copies...just the original dvd). It would be like selling a CD someone gave you as a gift. That's a slap in the face to the gift giver, but not a copyright violation. And, like a gifted CD, you couldn't burn a copy and sell that legally. But anyone who sells the lanyard or DVD they recieved as a gift at an event...totally legal. Lastly, anyone selling extras that were given to them for free distribution...that's unethical, but I dunno if it would be illegal or not.


If you object to the bitTORRENT thing, do as Marzain did and report it to MicroSoft. They won't do anything, but you will be able to sleep at night. And everyone wins so long as nobody decides to get all pissy with eachother.

As for folks from out of the country getting upset about the discussion. It's an honest discussion, and there are still ways to get DVD's, so be cool.


Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Anyone who is truely unable to scrounge together the couple dollars to mail a dvd to you. It's unbelieveably difficult to muster sympathy for someone who can't muster a couple of dollars, consider those who drove 10 hours, bought train or plane tickets, or paid for others to come. I can appreciate those feeling left out because of distances, but pah-leeze. I can send a letter to Timbuktu for 34 cents US. A DVD fits into a standard 5x7 padded envelope. It can't cost more than $2 to send that. I think you're gonna have to work harder to earn some pity there. Or go find yourselves a torrent.

And no, I'm not typing angry or sarcastically.

edit: I just realized the DVD has "not for resale" written clearly on it. Nevermind, I was wrong above. That's clearly an illegal violation if it disallowed resale.


it's not that i don't have the money, i just don't have a way from getting it from me to *insert distributer here*, i don't have a creidit card, or even a bank account, i'm too young.

 		Haha do what my friend did on Ebay when he won a bid for Livestrong bracelets. Put the money in an envelope and send it. Now this might not be the best way to do it but hey, nobodys sending out the dvds for profit so as long as they get the shipping costs its ok. Besides im sure theres no crazy postoffice worker ripping open envelopes to see if theres money inside.
