jhulud Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I have a question to run by you guys. I came across an eBay auction for Brand New's "Deja Entendu" and the seller used the pic I took of my record and uploaded to the Dead Format pressing info. In the description he states that the pic is of his personal copy as he is selling a sealed one. What can be done about this? Is this allowed? Here is the link to the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280199827004 And what got me to double-check my pics were the bedsheets the records are on.

jawbreaker Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 You can report the jackass. Just look for "Report this Item" at the bottom of the page. Then go to "Copying of your listing" and the stolen pictures is an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickbuysvinyl Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Battle Royale! and, if he's labeling it as 'sealed', and it's his copy, how is he able to take pictures of the records themselves? I'm calling bullshit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patron Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Battle Royale!and, if he's labeling it as 'sealed', and it's his copy, how is he able to take pictures of the records themselves? I'm calling bullshit He just means that he's got two copies of the record. The one pictured is his (not in this case though), and you get the same thing, only sealed.

jhulud Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 Update: I reported the listing to eBay. It seems they do have rules about using images without permission. Let's see what happens now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 A number of years ago (1999-2000, I think), I was selling a bunch of band stickers on eBay that I got from the record store I worked at. I would scan each one in individually, and sometimes little corners of them would get chopped off, so I'd always know exactly which images were mine. Whenever I saw someone steal my image for their own auction of the same item, I would just place a huge bid on it making sure no one else could win it. Then after I won, I'd write the seller and tell him he was a douche for stealing my images and that I wasn't paying. Ah, the good ol' lawless days of eBay...

defanatic1758 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Alright, I'm an asshole. I put the pic up because I was too lazy to take one of my own... and I apologize for doing so. I ended the listing and put up another with pics of my own. Sorry guys.- Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
