Email the bidders and inform them that the 'intellectual material' is very likely stolen, and at any rate, is available for free
Give the bidders an excuse to cancel their bid
Give them the website where they can get the info directly
Maintain campaign, and put the seller out of business

i tried to 'ask the seller a question', but you have to have a ebay accountOriginally posted by Neil
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! There is a link you can click that says you can ask the seller a question! Howbout "did you copy this off Jim Zs web page, you jerk?":kill:
I was going to 'ask' him a question (not exactly that tho)but we can look on the positive side of things, Jim now knows how much the info on his site is worth!!!

Reporting the auction to Ebay probably won't do much good. There was a similar auction a few months ago. I reported that one to Ebay. I got a reply back stating that only the copyright holder of the material can file a legitimate complaint. Since none of us hold the copyright to those plans, Ebay probably won't act.

And I invited them to TRF.

The message I sent was:
Steve, I am the one who emailed your bidders about your improper auction. It is obvious that the material you are attempting to sell (and profit from) has been taken from someone else's web site. Oh by the way, this material is copyrighted, and you violated that law 141 times.
JimZ was notified of your auction by someone else, in a completely separate communication, and had nothing to do with my notes to your bidders.

Someone should repeat what *I* did the last time we saw an auction like this...
...start up you OWN auction, with the SAME thing, only you LIST all of the URL sites where this inforamtion can be found for free. Even state that the info is freely given and NO compensation is needed.
worked for me. I even got a note from the original seller saying he didn't know that these free sites were common knowlege.
well, common or not, comeon.... LOL

THAT is just TOO funny!! I love the Sopranos!! I was born in northern NJ, and my Great Aunt still lives there. The show is esp funny to my Mom and I as we recognize many of the real life places where the scenes are shot.

It sounds as if the seller is simply not going to become repentant for his misdeeds, accidental or intentional, if he is continuing to offer his little bit of thievery for sale?
Another way to game the ebay system: sign up for a new ident (it is free, but you will need a credit card to reference to prove your age) and slap a super-high bid on this item (no one would bid to $100 on this, would they?) and when you win, simply don't pay. They will put a big black mark next to your ebay ident, but hey, it was a throw-away ident anyway.
