I don't know, you should give me one to find out.
but if i do, and its illegal, we both break the law
I'm pretty sure you're allowed to do whatever you want with a key once you've bought it.
ok, i just want to make sure.
uh its 5 a year minimum fenoly dude, I wouldn't risk it
[QUOTE=Mcfuret;33662214]uh its 5 a year minimum fenoly dude, I wouldn't risk it[/QUOTE] ok, thanks!
Yeah my friends uncle is in jail for selling indie bundle keys on the asian black market. I wouldnt risk it for your familys sake.
No, you're going to go to a federal prison if you try it. DON'T THROW YOUR LIFE AWAY, SON, IT'S NOT WORTH IT.
Fairly sure the actual ACCESS KEYS (the ones you use to access the download / key redemption page) you're entitled to share around (as long as you haven't redeemed them and they're in gift state), but external service keys (steam, onlive etc) should only be used by the person who redeemed the access key.
I can't imagine why. As long as they haven't been redeemed and you're not selling them you should be fine.
no
No. Read the user agreement. It even says under the steam key bit "these are for personal use".
You arent supposed to share steam or any other keys around. Its kinda forbidden even, as by doing so, you would get access to the games by download, and depending on how many services like steam are available, 3 or more people get the games for free. Now, here's the thing: If you give them to friends, theres nothing to worry about, as no one will know and no one can know that something is up here. Humble bundle knows that most of its downloads come from linkshares and people who havnt paid, they even got some statistics about that, but no one has ever been sued for downloading or sharing links. The only thing that happens is this: If too many people with different ips in a short time download from one certain humble bundle link, it may be disabled for further use. If they find any humble bundle link shared online (you can easily google that), they will disable it as soon as possible. However, even to that, theres a limit, as they cant disable the torrent download links they provide. So yeah, its technically illegal and you shouldn't do it, but practically, nothing will happen and you wont lose anything. And as long as you already downloaded all the installers/saved them to stick or dvd or something, you wont ever lose your games either, even if they void your original bundle.
