They want more money, and will go to court to try to get it. Perfectly normal, but also quite evil.

Things have moved on since I first joined...
For those that want to win the battle of PR against those dirty p2p hackers (as some adverts try to explain), they aren't doing a very good job of it...
Well, to be fair: "Copyright law prevents legitimate products purchased in one country being imported into another without permission of the owner of the intellectual property rights."
If that's the law, and the company's in question have those rights... then CD-WOW are in the wrong. That's not to say BPI and co aren't greedy...

Consumers dumped on from a great height again,
Good prices on CDwow, gives other retailers something to think about,
Just a thought, regardless of which country the music is sold in, the artist gets paid anyway, so what's the problem?
I didn't question the legal aspects, merely commenting an industry that is in the middle of a PR battle over piracy, shouldn't really start fining the legal (ish) outlets.
what a crock
The law needs changing. End of. Its obscene that you can purchase a load of genuine stuff in another country and pay all of your import taxes on it and then be breaking the law by selling it in another.Originally Posted by Steve

I got sent a Singapore version of BF2 from thereAlthough it works perfectly with an English manual and all sorts, it says on it "Not to be sold to other countries" sorta thing on it. Plus the box looks hideous ;_;.
Why not start a thread in the appropriate section rather than saying you need help and not explaining what you need, in this thread
However much they are giving good value to the consumers if they've been warned and agreed not to breach the rules then sorry but they deserve to be fined.
Whether i agree with the law is here nor their, they are a business and as such are liable to follow it.

And the point was made that other retailers that manage to give just as good prices are not breaking the law.
Exactly, the law is the law and in this rare case it even makes sense!
one starts to question whether its an industry being run for those running it or one for people who like listening to music.

Well, for those running it. Obviously. There wouldn't BE an industry if there wasn't money in it, and those running it will be doing so in order to make profits.
if you have heard some of the crap that gets made i think you will know the answer
