At fifty bucks that looks very tempting.

It's a flagrant breach of copyright, and he's had 723 people purchase the dvd at $50 a piece - that means - if it's the same product then he would have turned over - $36,000 dollars selling this product. He should be sued.

Abso-fraggin-loutely. Anyone got a direct line to Rebellion's legal dept, or do we just write to Tharg about it?

IndigoPrime · 13 April, 2008, 01:54:06 PM

I don't know if Rebellion has a specific address for this kind of thing, but there's a 'report a listing' link on the auction, which can be used to flag suspect auctions with eBay.

ThryllSeekyr · 13 April, 2008, 02:04:48 PM

I guess, I will keep my fifty-sixty Austrlaian dollars then.

I 'm just wondering now if Rebellion shouldn't doing this themsleves.

As I know they are already selling the current issues as a download.

Why not all of the back issues.

This is also naughty and though the choices of covers reveal it to be done by someone with little knowledge of 2k it's still pretty and I still bought one.

That poster looks genuine?

IndigoPrime · 13 April, 2008, 03:58:36 PM

"Why not all of the back issues."

Various reasons. Some of the issues aren't digitised or aren't cleaned up. Also, Rebellion doesn't have the rights to everything anyway (such as Dan Dare, Really & Truly, etc.) In the (very) long run, we can expect most old 2000 ADs to be available digitally, but even then Rebellion won't be selling them off for peanuts.

Done

That poster was legit. It was available in Previews alomg with a Dredd one, the cover of Black Atlantic which was a prog but I can't remember which one. I'm guessing it didn't sell very well because they were also offered on clearance by Diamond. They do appear quite often on Ebay.

W. R. Logan · 13 April, 2008, 06:12:29 PM

hey man, had no idea it was dodgey - bought it off another ebayer a while ago who said i had full resale rights as the copyright had expired due to age. i will cancel this listing straight away. D_M

If this person genuinely believed this he should be disenfranchised forthwith.

That original item is gone, and now I'm all curious. What was it?
