backup and manual vs piracy

[weirdami]

Here's something I never thought about until now, and only because I have this situation.

If you have the original manual for a game, but only have a back-up copy of the game that you made years ago but lost the original disk, can you sell the game and manual together? Or, since I'm asking for me, would I have to pitch the back-up disk and just sell the manual by itself?

What country is that? ;-)

I think I'll keep on the safe side and just sell off the manual without the disk... or, just put it in a box with other manuals and books and sell the whole lot as a lot... for a lot.  :eureka:

The physical presence of the original disk is sort of like a "proof of purchase"...

That's what I was thinking having the manual was, which is why I posed the question. I guess it's not exactly the same thing. In reverse, I guess I could ask if it was alright to sell a photo copy of the manual with my original game disk. The answer's the same, I'm guessing.

I'm not wearing Guess jeans, no. :-P
