SC may be different how we do things, but usually a style needs to be approved by a couple people before it's put on a Purchase Order and shipped to a distribution center to be shipped to stores. This involves an analyst, Buyer, purchasing AVP, not to mention people in a vendor relations team, legal compliance, etc. One of those people (should) be smart enough not to let the company invest a large chunk of money of the season's buy on something that would be illegal to sell or that risks some kind of legal issue.

Companies of that size don't just have a guy running around spending their money to bring in products from vendors because they think they're cool. There's an Aproval process.  And if SC got this wrong it's gonna be quite funny.

I agree with every thing above, except for the part where some one would know better. Things just slip past sometimes. Back in college I was a store level buyer at whole foods, I still have a good friend thats a regional buyer. I can't say exactly why, but I would have not been suppress if something like this happened.

I bet the importer told the SC buyer that the boards were licensed, which they probably were - from the hacks who made the 60-in-1s. But that doesn't mean the content of said boards was, just the physical boards. Or some other crappy loophole like that. :cheers:

Was probably something of that sorts or pointed out to the buyer the other sites selling those same boards at retail to show they were Legal to purchase so must be legal to use Since the GOVT was collecting their share  :laugh2: (Note : reference to 4 year old thread arguing this same point )

Wow, good job.  You did Namco's job for them, completely free of charge, and have accomplished nothing.
