Illegal painting book at Ebay

[minimaker]

Hi,

I just saw a note on this over at TMP:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ULTIMATE-MINIATURE-PAINTING-GUIDE-797-FULL-COLOUR-PAGES_W0QQitemZ170038879379QQihZ007QQcategoryZ90946QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

The preview shows a part of the blending article by Masterseck. Is this by any chance that E-book again which has illegal copies of the CMON articles?

The TMP thread is here:

Here We Go Again!

Yes! That looks to be the same copyright breach that happend before.
The Fianna displayed in the picture is Jen Haleys.
The Hasslefree Ogre is Klute\'s work.
And on the main picture displayed is someone from Coolmini\'s description of Wetblending. (Tony Manero\'s (?))

Time to go all nasty again!

Beggar only lives where I work as well.


EDIT: Just sent this to him through Ebay:
\"This is not a question but a notification that you have breached the copyright of several individual authors and the owner of the Website www.Coolminiornot.com. You have no right to sell this purported E-book and deprive the authors of their copyright. I have notified Ebay of this unlawful act and expect you to remove this sale immediatley.\"

oooooh, dogggy

Amazing what people will do for a buck :cussing:

Has anyone reported it to ebay?

 

[Sand Rat]

Hit him again Mike - and hit him on ebay as well

 

[Dragonsreach]

Contacted his purchasers and advised them as well.=

\"Please be aware that the E_book You have bought is a breach of the copyright of several authors and the website owner of WWW.Coolminiornot.com. This sale is unlawful and the seller has been reported to E-bay\".

Well done dragonsreach, I do hate a thief
hope this works

 

[Sand Rat]

Last time he did this we were nice - time to slam him Mike.

 

[minimaker]

So, this is the second attempt to sell this E-book through Ebay. I\'ve dropped a note over at the TMP thread so they know about it.

Bye, Ming-Hua

Last time it was some bod down in London. This person is in Wallasey, Birkenhead, Merseyside about 250(+/-) miles further North.

I hope it\'s not the same Git, but I\'m awaiting responses. Good job I kept the \"Cease and Desist\" notice on my USB pen.

 

[Sand Rat]

Looks like the same book to me Mike - either way, nuke him I say.

 

[darkartminiatures]

Nice work for spotting it. Maybe all the cmoners that know about it should drop him/her and email :twisted:

 

[minimaker]

Actually, perhaps we should drop a note on the different painting forums so people know about this. If more people are aware of it the chances of us getting warned fast the next time are higher.

The seller is going to make £500.00 from this if he sells all of them. The trouble is not everyone is a member of a painting forum. If i didn\'t know about him/her ripping folk off then I\'m sure i would of bought it. Maybe we could flood the market with them at a lower price and give the proceeds to the relevent people....just a thought.

You say \"I have notified EBay...\" but did you really? That is an important step.

Yes. I don\'t carry out idle threats.
And I have also had a positive response from one of the purchasers. (I invited him/her to join us here at CMON and get more info/help for free.)

 

[MPJ]

Excellent. I would be quite disappointed in them if they did nothing about this. :drunk:

I have reported the auction as well.

People making money out of other peoples generosity and good will pisses me off. :flame:
