dbartman wrote in Report sellers who infringe copyrights!:No, it's not legal. Another seller making money off of copyrighted material. The company name on eBay is "eheadquarters" - selling digital porn, comics, magazines, etc., and apparently been on eBay since 2012.The seller even has their email address in the info so someone can contact them directly. The email address says it all: "mrbutthead1@g***.com".
waysoftheearth wrote in Report sellers who infringe copyrights!:Is this legit? Somehow, it looks questionable to me:
benjoshua wrote in Report sellers who infringe copyrights!:These can be purchased from Drivethrurpg for $8.24 plus shipping.Chainmail: Rules for Medieval Miniatures (0e) - Wizards of the Coast | D&D, Original Edition | DriveThruRPG.comSo, while it it not the original, technically it's legitimate. Some people see these kinds of sales as unethical and some view them as opportunistic. Therefore, some people would say this kind of sale is questionable and others would not.
waysoftheearth wrote in Report sellers who infringe copyrights!:Wow... so what's the basis of the "LICENSED WIZARDS OF THE COAST AUTHORIZED REPRINT" statement?
waysoftheearth wrote in Report sellers who infringe copyrights!:Is this suggesting that anyone is "authorised" to scan, print and resell any old PDF they happen to buy from DriveThru? Or is it more specifically that WotC or DriveThru has issued a statement saying it's open season on reselling their D&D PDF catalogue?Either way, I can't quite get my head around it
waysoftheearth wrote in Report sellers who infringe copyrights!:I guess because the seller had a bunch of OD&D-related reprints, with multiple copies of each (well... 2x Chainmail and 4x Swords & Spells were the only two I looked at), I wondered whether the seller might have purchased one CM PDF and was then selling many POD hard-copies from that single PDF purchase. That's the part I couldn't imagine WotC or DriveThru authorising.
waysoftheearth wrote in Report sellers who infringe copyrights!:I agree there's no problem whatever with buying something then selling it later. No problem at all. I guess because the seller had a bunch of OD&D-related reprints, with multiple copies of each (well... 2x Chainmail and 4x Swords & Spells were the only two I looked at), I wondered whether the seller might have purchased one CM PDF and was then selling many POD hard-copies from that single PDF purchase. That's the part I couldn't imagine WotC or DriveThru authorising. Apologies if I offended.
