So how come the photo is the same one as mine in
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=287681584
HE PINCHED IT OFF MY WEB SITE!
He obviously ignored my copyright notice
Is this a genuine sale?
Does he actually have the goods?
Is this a potential fraud?
Anyone else had experience of this?
Or this seller?
regards
lawrence

As far as copyrights, it only covers original work you've done, not pictures or brochures (...) (25 years ago, 2-Apr-00, to lugnet.market.auction)
