Dear Freegle member

Software, videos, DVDs, music CDs, cassettes and books offered on Freegle should be original.

In particular, software must not be a burned copy. It must have the serial number with it and have been removed from its original computer system. In the case of an operating system, it should also have the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) with it.

Dear Member

I am sorry to return your message.

Software offered or requested must be original (not a burned copy) and have the serial number with
it, and you must state that it has been removed from your computer system. (In the case of an operating system, it should also have the Certificate of Authenticity <COA> with it.)

Books and other copywrited works must be originals and not copies. This includes DVD's and music CD's.

These are not just the groups policies, this is the law. I hope you understand therefore why your message has not been approved.
