Hi
Basically it has been decided that reference to rentals is acceptable.
But that doesn't mean opening the floodgates.
On some occasions where someone purchases a faulty disc.
The replacement being sometime off. (Mail order. shop out of stock, faulty batch etc.)
It could be deemed appropriate to use a rental to complete the backup.
As an interim measure.
Plus some countries laws are somewhat lenient in this respect.
You may not know, but some rentals have differing protections to that of the retail version.
In order for James to respond appropriately. This info can be helpful.
But please note. This is not an open, free for all on the topic of rentals.
Many members may withhold their help in these cases.
Which is both, perfectly understandable & acceptable.
However we ask members not to flame users who mention rentals.
In particular folk new to the forum.
Hope this goes some way in clearing up the situation.
Thanks to you all for your input & understanding. :clap:
