Hiya,
Id really like to start a topic with no flame replies please!
But basically, if i was to sell copy DVDs or games on somewhere like
Ebay, would putting the following message get past the rules and laws
somewhat?

Legal Information:

By purchasing any of my games or DVDs, you agree that:
1) You own a 100% legitimate copy of the game or DVD.
2) You are purchasing my game or DVD for the SOLE reason to backup
your existing legitimate copy, for a reason such as you are unable
to make a backup yourself.
3) That purchasing this game/DVD without having a genuine &
legitimate copy is a criminal offence as it is in breach of
copyright laws, and may lead to imprisonment.
4) I cannot be held responsible for your choosing to ignore this
message and to illegal purchase a DVD or game.

I think that most of you will say it will still be illegal.. Will i
still get banned from Ebay if i put the message? It used to be done
on ROM sites, that is why i ask.. Perhaps theres a difference between
backing up a cartridge and a CD. You see, ive had a motorbike
accident and cant work. I have looked at several options like drop
shipping, but after extensive research and putting some money into
it, it looks like its a bad idea. Ive also researched into selling
ebooks with similar bad luck. I have bills to pay, rent to pay and
im going back to college in just 2 months to do my A levels! Im
quite buggered, im even applying for benefits this moment, but 1) I
dont really wanna be a "bum" who sits around taking tax payers
money, although this may seem quite contradictory after my question
about the piracy, 2) Benefits dont pay much & are alot of work to
get.
Thanks alot in advance for any replies.

This cant work bollocks makes me spit. In my local Tesco there is a
young chap in a wheelchair who works on the tills, and another young
guy with severe leg problems who walks with two crutches yet manages
to do a very effective job working on the deli.
While not wishing to decry your accident, I think you ought to revisit
whether you are in fact unable to work or simply unwilling.

You know nothing of his disability, so are therefore unable to make that
judgement.
Some peoples disabilities renders them genuinely unable to work. Many
actually want to work, and the fact that they can't causes depression to set
in.
You can't judge everybody based on 2 people you've seen down your local
Tesco.
