The digital download is a license though. They can stipulate that the person with the code bought it with the DVD. Though practically I can’t see how they can enforce it.
- StavrosK 9y agoThey can deny service to the person if they didn't buy it with the DVD, but they can't sue the seller, no?
- rubyfan 9y agoYes they can deny service. It will be interesting if they stick it to the end consumer. They can sue all they want, but I can’t see how they win. The seller here hasn’t broken a law or violated license terms which they would be bound to. I don’t know what’s on the box, but I’d have a hard time believing when I buy a DVD from Walmart that I have entered into an agreement with Disney. When I go to use the code and download the movie, that’s when license terms and conditions and agreement between parties comes into play. But that should be between the holder of the code and Disney. Disney can say the holder must have come across the code by some way Disney likes but this to me is where enforcement gets tricky without implementing some kind of DVD verification or something.
