Tintin pirates: how do we stop them?

#1 · Posted: 5 Aug 2007 23:03

Hi everyone, There are several sellers on eBay who sell illegal PDF cds of all of the Tintin books, one of which has a fake disclaimer that claims that These books are in the public domain, so they are not breaking any copyright laws. I tried to send an email of complaint to eBay to warn them of this seller, but I could not get it to work. We must all seek these out on eBay and report them! This must stop! Do NOT purchase one of these! Herge turns over in his grave whenever someone does. We must work to stop these Villains, Coelocanths, Troglodytes, Bandits, Pirates, Gangsters, Profiteers and Forgers!

Thanks, CB

Have you tried going through the official channels for reporting prohibited items on ebay?
For the UK version of the site, the link is:

http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/contact_us/_base/index_4.html?item=&topic =index_4&continue=Continue+%3E

Follow the instructions and paste in the relevant item number(s).
If enough people do this, I think eBay must take notice.
Together we can sink the pirates.
