Some of you might remember the post I made about a book of information being available on EBAY about illegal chips, etc. I had asked the seller about the book and he said it was information that he had collected from the internet. WELL! The material he sent me was in fact: Ed Hertels' entire book 4th edition reproduced in B/W! I am going to email Ed but below is what I sent to EBAY and below that is what I sent to the seller. He has a right to suck me in but it cannot be with someone else’s COPYRIGHTED material!

SENT TO EBAY:

The below message has been sent to the seller. The book he sold is in fact FREE to anyone that wants to download it from the author BUT it is copyrighted. It is not available to be sold. The eBay seller has violated the copyright of this FREE book and sold it to me. I did not know that he was selling it (the description gave no hint of its origin) and I purchased it in the belief that it was his to sell!

SENT TO THE SELLER/hollywoodtreasurechest:

"You are a thief and a fraud. The author of what you sent me publishes this FREE and it is COPYRIGHT protected. I am reporting your activity to eBay this very minute. I will also notify the collectors that I do business with to stay away from you. You have a great deal of nerve printing out and selling something that the author gives away for free. I will never stop until I have my $ back and you are suspended from eBay! "
