[QUOTE="Kraydak, post: 3869341, member: 12306"] I find these remarks, well, remarkably unreassuring. Going beyond the fact that many people do *not* hang onto their receipts, how would CS handle the following: 1) Person A buys the book. He uses the code. He sells to book to person B, either telling the truth or lieing about the code activation. Person B tries to use the code. No one has (any more) any receipts. Both people have digital images of the code (note that if CS is relying on digital images, they are assuming everyone has a digital camera...). I cannot see anyway for CS to be able to tell who is telling the truth. 2) Person A buys a used book w/o code. He decides, later, that he wants the DI portion. He takes a picture of a code of a book in his FLGS and uses it. Person B buys that book, say cash. *Assuming* that person B finds out that the code has been used before he trashes his receipt, does the receipt from *every* FLGS provide enough information to uniquely ID a specific copy of a PHB4? If not (and assuming person B still has the receipt, not a safe assumption, and even not safer yet if the book is a gift for person B bought by person C), how does CS resolve the matter? Both person A and B have a copy of the book and digital images of the code... 3) People A and B decide to buy a copy of the PHB4. Person A dislikes reading from a computer screen and isn't interested in DI, while person B is cash strapped. Person A goes in it for 75% of the cost and gets the book. Person B goes in it for 25% and gets the code. 2 months later, person A changes his mind about the whole DI thing... [/QUOTE]
