[kj] gems

[Crack]

  I have tried to buy some DVD's from the net from a company in China  
. They were copies , but they said that they could only sell them to  
me if I'm buying the copies to replace the originals that I ve  
previously purchased legally.
   So for legal reason, they were not selling me a DVD copy, but a  
replacement for the one I had had which was now broken ( they did nt  
ask for any proof , they were just covering their asses )
   So : If you legally own copyrighted material you are allowed to  
purchase copy replacements.
   Buuuuuuuuuut : Just because someone has paid for Gems of Power, but  
not yet received it . Does that make them a legal owner of the  
material? I would say : No . I would guess that you are not the legal  
owner until you have received said official goods .
