Ebuyer in hard-drive warranty debacle

Your Warranty is with eBuyer.

Now, to be clear here, your warranty is covered by the people who sold you the drive, not with the people who manufactured it.

The system of passing customers directly to the manufacturer is meant as a convenience for all involved (hah :), but does not reflect the way consumer protection laws work. If eBuyer asks you to contact the drive manufacturer directly for a warranty request, you are within your rights to refuse and ask them to deal with it themselves.

If eBuyer offered you a 5 year warranty, then you are entitled to one. eBuyer have clearly stated they will honour it, therefore goods are as described.

There may be nuances and practical aspects I haven't covered here, but that's the gist of it.

Paris Hilton released for 'medical reasons'

People! Open your eyes!

Can you really not see what is going on here? Miss Hilton isn't using her wealth and priviledges to flout the law, she's drawing attention to the injustices that are done by these tools of the rich and famous!

It's obvious when you look at how she made sure she'd get jail time by breaking the law in a mild but comprehensive fashion. She left herself without a defence. Brave girl!

She knew with the eyes of the world on her she could put a spotlight on how unfair and biased the system is and how easily exploited.

She really is the people's porn star.
