Does TLC act when we point out infringements of their trademark here?

The case of the bootleg-clone seller may be instructive here. I
don't know why he was suspended/de-registered, but given that we
know TLC members read LUGNET off and on, is it at all possible
that when we flag these questionable uses of trademark, TLC acts?
I'd think they would be an organization with the power to bend
eBay to their will.
Just a thought. I'd be very amused if in fact TLC's legal eagles
*were* following these conversations we're having and grey areas
we're pointing out. But I wouldn't be entirely surprised.
