Vegas 5 + DVD question

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

I purchased Vegas 4 + DVD from Sony and also got a free upgrade to
Vegas 5 + DVD...when the Vegas 4 order showed up Sony made a mistake
and did not send the + DVD version... I called customer support and
told them I had ordered Vegas 4 + DVD and only got the regular Vegas
4... customer support looked up the order and realized a mistake was
made... support asked if I would like Vegas 5 + DVD instead - so I
said sure....
So now I have Vegas 4, the free upgrade to Vegas 5 + DVD, and another
retail boxed version of Vegas 5 + DVD...
Can I give or sell the boxed version of Vegas 5 + DVD since it was not
opened ? I assume that since it has not been registered that it can be
passed along...

Thanks,
Glenn

I would keep the Vegas 5 + DVD and give away the 4 + the upgrade to someone
who needs it, like me hehe.. You got a break because they made a mistake.
I would sell it on ebay or something, or give it to me. I'll pay the
shipping! I'm joking of course. (well, not really) :-D

Actually, I ended up with one copy of Vegas 4 and two copies of Vegas
5 + DVD... I was sent the free upgrade to Vegas 5 + DVD before the
mistake as made with the ver. 4...so rather then just send out the +
DVD part of Vegas 4 the customer service rep said she would just send
out Vegas 5 + DVD... I said ok...

Hi Glenn,

How much would you want for your Vegas 5+ DVD?

I work in a college multi-media lab and we are struggling to find the money
for the upgrade...

Glenn - It depends if you pirate software or not. What Sony has done
is NOT to give you free copies of VEGAS, they simply want to be sure
you got_what_you_paid_for. If you ask them they will likely tell you
to discard the extra copies. If you sell them or even give them away,
that would be piracy.

I think Glenn is going to try and make some money off of this situation,
unfortunately. As the saying goes... what goes around, comes around.
