cabala wrote in Report sellers who infringe copyrights!:Since there was a discussion on this a while back I figured this is as good a place as any to ask my question. I know the listing below is from badmike and I am not trying to raise the discussion on reprints or anything. I am just curious is there anyway to differentiate the original from this authorized reprint besides it being stated so?

Several ways:

The pages are watermarked with the NTRPG con logo;

Inside cover says: Printed by North Texas RPG Con---2012
Welcome to the Frontpage
With Permission from Peter Kerestan
1st printing

Also the NTRPG con version is probably much slicker and newer than any original copy you could run across.

I found several copies of this I had stashed away, including two of my grandson's copies that he had purchased at the con (the two I'm selling now are actually his).

These seem like they may be reprints

I'll let those who are more familiar with what is and is not legally available in PDF form handle this one. This doesn't seem kosher to me at all.

MetaSigma wrote in Report sellers who infringe copyrights!:With respect, how does this eBay listing differ at all from the unauthorized NTRPGCon reprint of Inverness and other similar projects?

LOL, just saw and reported this one.

I haven't seen him list his stuff on his facebook group in a week or two now.

Whats up with this guy selling pdf's - the one auction doesn't even make it too clear that's what you are getting. I wonder if he can distribute these?

Huh. I'm surprised this is the first I'm hearing about this.

Shame. I can't place the face, but I know I've seen his name as GM at a lot of conventions around here - Nexus, GaryCon, etc. Wonder if that will continue...

I like how the listing was ended "because the item was lost or broken."

Did he misplace the file on his hard drive or did his hard drive crash.. if the hard drive "broke" then the pdf became "broken"?

He was also charging $78 for the same "item"

** expired/removed eBay auction **

and then $25 for it

Isn't this pretty much a blatant copyright violation?

I don't follow GW stuff very often. As far as I know, only issues from about #1-90 were committed to PDFs. Can someone confirm?
