Want to trade

[shawn_cardwell]

Pretty good comments above. I will say upon reflection that I came off as a little more accusatory toward Hank and Jay than I actually should have as they never used the word "copy." So, my appologies to you both if your intent was/is consistent with the law of your jurisdiction(s).

Some other responses:

Panther Bait:
"As long as all active copies are uninstalled and the prior owner does not retain a copy, swapping is perfectly legal." Probably true if expressly stated in a license agreement. In the absence of such express waiver language, or in the absence of a license agreement, I'm not too sure I would want to test that premise against existing Federal Law in the United States.

Cavalry Corps:
"I think they only want to swap have you never swaped anything that was copy controlled ? In any event swapping games is no harm to HPS as both iotems have already been sold and maybe that swapper may get into a whole new series ??"
Answer one: No.
Answer two: I obviously don't speak for HPS, but IF, as you say, that leads to a new series customer, then no harm, no foul. On the other hand, every title swapped or traded to another person deprives them of a potential new sale.

Now, lets get back to gaming!
