Oh boy. I know in Japan people tend to copy movies and sell them to used DVD places (considering how much they cost over there...) but I'm not sure it's legal even though it happens all the time (or did, dunno about digital stuff).
If you purchased a copy of the figure seperately, it's not a problem. If you never installed the disk, it isn't a problem either. However if you installed the disk and didn't delete what you installed, I'm tempted to say it is an issue, if not for strict knowledge then for caution.
Realistically, once they hand out a disk it'd be difficult for people to keep a track of stuff like this, even if they didn't want to wrong the initial vendor.
Another problem (not related to V3 and A3) is abandonware. It's sort of the grey area of copyright laws. If someone isn't selling or supporting a digital property and the rights owner can't be tracked down, the legal status of the property is in question. It's kind of hard to buy something or enforce a law if no one knows who currently owns the rights.
WARK!
