I disagree. Natural rights have been defined as a product of simply being alive. Some people call them unalienable rights, some call them God-given rights. Whatever the case, they define us to having the natural rights of Life, Liberty, and Property. The natural rights define what laws should be. We know killing is wrong and so we create a law which makes it unacceptable to kill. The law doesn't define that it's wrong to kill, just that the group has decided there will be consequences for the action. From there, we do create laws that are defined solely on the basis of civil requirement/desire. They do find root in natural rights though.
As for point-of-sale, it's at Amazon's servers, and is pretty much like buying anything else on the web. The only difference is the method of delivery.
