Is It Legal To Share Commercial Video Tutorials

Hello everyone,

Well I found a very interesting DVD tutorials but the problem is that they are relatively too expensive, the description is right here : http://www.xgencongress.com/xgn_content.aspx?id=105686

I am wondering how many are interested in contributing a small fee to buy these DVD and put them securely available to everyone who bought at biocoders.net ?

I am wondering if this is legal to do that ? only those who contributed should be allowed to see the videos ?

Is it legal ? Are you interested in contributing ? we can buy as many DVD as we want.

Hi,

If you already bought one of these DVDs, you more than probably have a legal notice on it. This would be the ultimate answer to your question.

Your other option is simply to ask the people who publish it. Given the price at which they sell it, I would expect very slim chances that they give you the right to do that.

I would personally not take the legal risks to do what you propose to do.

Cheers

Thanks Eric, yes you're right, I sent them an email already, we will see what they will say.
