Worried about scheweser materials

Hi all,

I’m a CFA level 1 candidate for the June exam. Looking for cheaper study materials since my company doesn’t cover it, I bought schweser materials on ebay because I saw on forums and linkedin group that that is where many candidates bought their materials. And I figured that it can’t be much different from buying a old textbook like what I did in college. But lately I saw someone comment on piracy laws and I’m getting kind of worried of whether I’m allowed to buy on ebay or not. Any advice?

You are allowed to buy somebody else’s old materials, if they don’t want them anymore.

Youre not allowed to buy pirated materials, where the seller is selling this years material at 10% of what you’d pay to the actual provider. This is fraudulent and depriving schweser of their revenue.

Im certain you know the difference.

Thanks for confirming my worries. I decided to stop using what I bought from ebay and bought new material directly from schweser.
