Now there's "woodgraincollector" sitting on top of a bunch of bids by a legit buyer who's obviously trying to make a sincere run at it:http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 8778118222I'm just curious. If woodgraincollector is a member, you can PM me in confidence.

I just think if somebody was going to pay 3K for something you would enter that bid as opposed to "pushing" it up in increments if they were seriously interested.

They did not, obviously deciding instead that they'd e-mail the seller and ask him to attribute the source of the information (or something along that line). The seller has revised his description to include a thank-you, which is still infringement because he does not have my permission to use the text or the scan.Done about all we can do here. I'm sure there's good grounds for a lawsuit against eBay on this, but since there's no financial loss to the copyright owner (me), the case wouldn't go anywhere.Foul

Regardless of whether you suffered financial loss, if you notified Ebay properly and they did't act, you could sue them for contributory copyright infringement and they could be liable for up to $150,000 for each copyright infringed, plus any profits generated by the infringement, plus any actual damages.
