I think the question was completely legitimate. After all, if you are buying something, you want to make sure you are not violating any laws in doing so and also do you really want to do business with someone who is potentially knowingly violating laws?
Sure as a matter of human nature, you guys are right, if you ask them such a pointed question, you are likely to not receive an answer... though I wonder if the non-reply doesn't tell you enough......
In my case, I'm simply waiting out the 4K adjustment for now... which is weird for me, I'm usually at the cutting edge, but with different HDR setups, and other variables, I'm just not ready to make the investment into 4K.
