The dirty ingrate swine sends an e-mail that basically says: "FUCK EBAY, BUY DIRECT! I CAN GIVE YOU CHEAP ACCESS TO ANY BOOK YOU WANT, EVEN BOOKS PROTECTED BY VERO REPS WHO I KNOW WOULD TAKE DOWN MY ITEMS IF I POSTED THEM. HA HA."
Like so:
This seller, like all the Sri Lanka weasels, keeps getting a slap on the wrist while being allowed to USE PAYPAL (who aids and abets theft and fraud) and EBAY (ditto).
Today, June 8th, the weasel posted TWO MORE BOOTLEGS:
Since THIS website has mentioned the Sri Lanka cartel so often, this crafty load of coagulated urine decided to be "clever" and list his location as...ALABAMA.
Y'all, that's almost funny. ALMOST.
It's also ALMOST funny that when eBay does get around to shutting down an auction (should a fan or, more unlikely, the actual author or publisher) hit that "report item" button for illegal digital downloads, any negatives left about the item DISAPPEAR.
So if somebody writes: "WARNING: YOU ARE BUYING A BOOTLEG, AUTHOR/PUBLISHER GET NOTHING," that vanishes.
Bidders are TRICKED (by the seller, PAYPAL and EBAY) into thinking that "resell rights" were granted, and that the author and publisher have given permission for some parasite in Sri Lanka (er, ALABAMA) to sell mobi, epub or Kindle versions of a copyrighted best seller. For $2.99 or $3.99.
Just like the termites that can destroy a house, the ants that can take down an animal, or the bacteria that can send an entire dining room's worth of people to the hospital, BOOTLEGGERS DO DAMAGE.
THIS crud was stopped for bootlegging Paula Hawkins (112430048052) and James Patterson (112048537789) and Jodi Picault (112190297839) and has stolen from Danielle Steele (112279131911) Lisa Scottoline (112375643089) and Fredril Backman (112388044036) and C.J. Box (112384224351) and John Sanford (112389212182) and Steve Berry (112389337344) and C.J. Box again (112399433926) and C.J. Box again (112394394523) going back for MONTHS.
Stuff like THIS from APRIL 27th:
How many authors, how many warnings does EBAY need before a scumbag thief and liar and fraud is SUSPENDED?
When does PAYPAL decide their Terms of Service is in violation and they are aiding and abetting a thief, liar and fraud?
Isn't it convenient that EBAY AND PAYPAL GET A PERCENTAGE OF EVERY TRANSACTION, while authors are freelancers.
Isn't it convenient that EBAY and PAYPAL personnel get paid to glance at violations and shrug, while the freelancers do NOT get paid for reporting the abuse.
That's EBAY and PAYPAL's passive-aggressive way of saying, "FUCK OFF, copyright owners, freelancers, Mom & Pop bookstores, and even Amazon who sells the legit downloads, you keep on whining and complaining and MAYBE...MAYBE we'll suspend this banana-eater. MAYBE. We wear the frilly skirts of the DMCA, and hide behind them. And guess what, we don't have to tell YOU how many complaints it would take to get action."
In fact, NOTHING really prevents EBAY and PAYPAL from keeping this SENJUHASAR asshole around forever. His name is probably not Senjuhasar, as he uses several different eye-chart names for his e-mails and his PayPal and his many eBay accounts.
Hey Random House Penguins...you, in the fancy suits with your heads in the sand, or up your ass, are you contemplating a class action lawsuit? When is enough enough? Where are your spines? Penguins have spines. So do chickens. What's your problem? Too busy taking the two-hour lunch at Starbucks and pretending you publish literature about morality?
What's the answer here?
It's for EBAY to seriously and quickly handle "REPORT ITEM" complaints and VERO complaints.
Stop giving endless chances to POONI SCUMSUKKA or whatever his name is, and his cartel of babbling, grinning maggots.
STOP allowing sellers to say "Attention eBay, I have resell rights" when they DON'T.
STOP being so smug about DMCA laws and saying, "Oh, we're not gonna call a seller on it, or ask a seller to PROVE that there's a deal between himself and authors or publishers, or to ask that he put a copy of the CONTRACT in his ad."
Do something right.
You don't need chicken-shit $2.99 and $3.99 sales where YOU people end up losing a lot more.
As soon as a Sri Lankan creep makes a sale, it means the bidder will NEVER buy on eBay but instead will buy DIRECT.
And, PAYPAL, that means you aid and abet criminal activity.
The answer is to keep the crud OFF EBAY.
Copyright is not COPY WRONG. Authors should not be the niggers of the world on eBAY. Slavery is OVER.
