[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 9455849, member: 7023840"] Not going through that again, trust me. It was an attempt to be nuanced (because we don't have all the facts) and people responded by yelling at me about whatever they googled. IIRC, they were googling an FTC guidance on unsolicited [I]gifts [/I]which have become an issue due to scams (which you don't have to return, by the way, but that's neither here nor there). But basically, we would need to know the actual fact pattern- things like, "Who got the cards originally, and how?" "What was the transaction from the original person to Dan?" "What was Dan's knowledge when he received the cards?" "Was there a contract regarding the embargo date, and if so, what are the terms?" Actual facts would play very heavily into determining if there was possible civil or criminal liability under relevant state and federal law. But without those facts, you can't make a determination. So anyone saying that they know, for sure, what law(s) would apply is not accurately relaying the lack of predicate knowledge that we have. ETA- and I will further add that since Dan and WotC both seem to have put this behind them, I am not sure why we are arguing this on their behalf. Verbal calisthenics? [/QUOTE]
