I'm pretty tired of these chumps making money off of other people's hard work. I'm creating this topic to try to get as many of us as possible to report their auctions as eBay policy violations and get them in trouble.

Why? Because they're basically making money from other people's creations from here. Myself, I don't like that they're able to sell a DVD with "illegal" .ogg song files. Granted it's not much worse than what we do here, but that's not the point.

What to do?
1) Click the Report this item link at the bottom of the auction page
2) Select a few options from the following page. I do:
2a) Counterfeits and breach of contract
2b) Bootleg and counterfeit media
2c) Backup films, television programs, music etc.
(I do it this way because the selling of the .ogg files is the worst offense here, in eBay's eyes)
3) Click the Email us link.
4) Click the Send button
That's it! It'll only take you a few seconds.

Also, if you find any new FoF auctions, please post them below so that they can be reported too.

The first "target" is:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290158526000
Use the Search feature first to find answers to your questions. Chances are that they have been asked before!

Am I doing good so far?

Cool, that way this gets more attention.

Also I couldn't find anymore sales of FoF.

These people are ridiculous. Who could be so desperate to want to make $6.50 illegally?

Lol, look at what I found somewhere in the item description on the link:

Note: The software that I am providing is freely available on the Internet and the cost involved is for my time, materials and postage only


Technically, he's not doing anything wrong. I reported him anyway because of that small font size

the GNU gpl allows to sell the game

but this auction is illegal for copyrighted material like the .ogg files

That ****** lives in Lincoln! That's right near where I live. In fact, I'm going to Lincoln tonight to get trashed anyway. Maybe I could find his place...

*Evil ideas brewing*
Its just like life. Quite interesting in parts, but no substitute for the real thing.

Maybe you can put a splash screen when you first start the game that this is open source software, and if you were duped into purchasing the software, to contact your credit card company.

True, it being open source software someone can just rip it out again, but it probably would stop the majority of people selling it on ebay

Actually, all the new members will ignore it. Bastards.
