But...I must admit...I wanted that Ares Magazine CD.

Looks like more illegal PDFs, since The Dragon, Space Gamer, White Dwarf, and wargaming books are available through his downloading service. I also see GDW and still more SPI games.

No. The magazine was never made digital. TSR would have done it as they took over the last couple issues. So, no. It is not legit.

You can't trust anyone these days, even WITH packaging and printed material

The guys must have a pretty good business at selling illegal PDFs, etc. He also has lots of RPG pdfs, other magazines, etc:

Wonder if Wizbro would be interested in this site?

Talk about ramping up his little PDF empire. Anyone know who owns the rights to FASA or WEG stuff?

It looks like Red Brick Ltd still has some of the rights (Earthdawn). Not sure about Shadowrun and Battletech/Mechwarrior. Maybe Weisman still has the rights? Wikipedia mentions he teaches at USC

I believe Shadowrun is owned by Catalyst, since there is a 4th edition that still seems to be in print, and coming out with new stuff...

Now that I think about it, Fanpro might own some rights. I think they were reprinting stuff or making new stuff.

I've got the ball moving a little bit. Some of the pdfs have been removed from sale.

I'm not sure who would care about the MERP or TFT or other FASA and WEG lines. Maybe the Tolkien estate for MERP?

Ok, so I have never done this before, but I am pretty sure this is not legit. Can someone tell me how to report to Ebay, or if this is not a violation.

Reported.

Neal, after "Seller Info" and "Other Item Info" on the top right of the listing, you will see options to "print" and to "report item". Click on "report item" and the process is quick and simple.

Great, thanks for the info. I searched around on Ebay's compliance page for 15 minutes and the closest I came was a list of companies who were on some secret copyright protected list. I gave up after that.
