Further Note on Return Policy
Please understand that entertainment in the form of CDs, Blu-Rays, DVDs, and records is copyrighted material. This fact makes music different from most other things that consumers purchase. Because the enjoyment of these items can be retained by the consumer (by copying), our federal government passed Copyright protection laws that the entertainment industry is obligated to maintain. This means that copyrighted material can only be returned when it is defective and will be replaced with another copy of the identical item. This legislation helps to insure that the artists, record labels, distributors, and retailers are protected.
