Hi! I'd like to know if it is legal to import (and resell) pc video games from Thailand. I am speaking about pc video games that are legally produced by the manufacturers and that always include a cd key. They are not copies. The problem is that lot of times I found video DVD from Asia at very cheap price but these are obviously illegal if sold outside asia due to copyright laws (maybe in asia there is no copyright law and there may be perfectly legal). Example: www.dvdhitshop.com sells DVD video legal in Asia but illegal if imported in US or Europe. So about DVD video, I suppose the answer is no, they aren't legal in US or Europe if imported or resold. So the question is: What about pc videogames produced by the manufacturer (no copies) that include cd key, retail box and manual (with asian writings because intended to be sold in Thailand)? Will I be in trouble if I buy from Thailand and resell to United States or Europe? And for personal use, is it legal to own them? Will be any copyright stamp as the ones bought in Europe? Today I received the sample I asked for from my wholesaler in Thailand. The product seems perfect and produced by the manufacturer. But I can read on it: "Illegal if sold out side Thailand". What does this mean? Is there a way to resell them legally to Europe and US? Of course the advantage is that in Asia pc videogames are extremely cheap.. Note that I am interested only in pc videogames and not DVD video.. I posted them only as an example. I'm only interested in reselling pc videogames in US and EUROPE. I'm afraid if my english is not perfect but I'm italian so please feel free to add any comment if something is not well explained! Thank you for your collaboration, have a nice day! |
