Yes Deniz, in an ideal perfect world what you say is correct.
But if you had studied law then you'd know that there is something called "burden of proof" and additionally law is divided into "commercial" and "civil".
You cannot substantiate your claims by the methods of evidence accepted in a court of law, so you cannot provide sufficient proof in court, nor would you go to that length as you'd be paying thousands of $$ for a $30 DVD (thats called a "Pyrrhic Victory").
Furthermore, police do not entertain commercial complaints unless criminal law has been broken .... and this company, whilst behaving terribly, has broken no criminal laws.
Finally, "justice" and "law" are two very different concepts .... there is hardly any justice in a court.
Thats actually a good post. Let me cover the points one by one:
1) Yes justice and law can be in accordance each other but dont have to be always. But usually the idea(l) is the law is altered in a way that it matches what is perceived as just. If justice serves an economical or political interest of the state then the law IS changed subsequently. If not, than statements like "there is no money", or "the juristical experts are still debating over this" can be heard.
2) I know you said "crime" but i changed it to "legally accepted", since, not criminal, but civil law is broken here. And of course you can go to the police give them the evidence and they will give it to the court which will decide if its enough to open a case. Ive never heard that the police wouldnt be active in civil/commercial cases? If you succeed not only you get the costs of your 30$ back, but also the costs for a lawyer, court fees etc, which im sure can go 300 - 3000 maybe? Depending how long the case takes. Well it sucks that you have to pay IN ADVANCE for all those costs (and btw, one of many cases where you can study that we are NOT equal in terms of rights), but if you do, it helps to damage "scam dealers".
