Have licences, where can I get XP media/files

They put up little signs saying no software can be returned once opened in
their brick and mortar as well as their on line stores.

As long as they add the phrase "This does not affect your statutory rights".
That phrase, by the way, translates as, "The foregoing is probably a load of
bollocks". Consumer law in the UK allows you to return software in exactly
the same way as hardware for the same reasons. You have to open the box to
discover that it doesn't do what it claims to do.

Last time I checked, Spain was in the European Union and therefore should be
subject to the same ruling.

Spain has its own rules. For example, downloading music from eMule is
not illegal unless you plan to sell it. This kind of piracy is covered
with a tax on CDs, DVDs and DVD burners.

Spain is not unique with that provision. The Netherlands and Germany have a
similar arrangement. The UK doesn't have such an arrangement but strangely
blank audio CDs are still much more expensive than their conventional
counterparts.

But Spain *is* subject to the European ruling on EULAs that are not visible
at the point of sale. However, I suspect that the software vendors are as
reluctant to bring a case in Spain as anywhere else just in case someone
decides to take it all the way.
