UFO:AI on Ebay??
Destructavator:
Status Report:
The United States Ebay system is apparantly a little different, I was just able to get an immediate account opened including a seller account, but they want to charge me monthly fees to have any kind of listing with additional fees for special options, like digital downloads, etc.
I'll attempt to figure out how to contact people who were already swindled by the sellers, if the system lets me do it at all.
Destructavator:
Update: The USA Ebay website doesn't list any previous buyers for me, but I was able to get an email form for reporting copyright violations, infringement of intellectual property, etc., and I sent a detailed message which included the URL for this project website for them to look at for reference. I got an email back right away saying I should get an official response in 24-48 hours.
If I see that some poor buyer payed money for the game, I'll try to contact them.
I guess that's all I can do right now, when they reply I'll post another update.
EDIT: I noticed that the seller uses "we" in the description to imply that he/she created the game!
I also noticed the seller is based in the US, and I can tell you that US copyright and intellectual property laws are very tough here - this seller could potentially be liable for felony charges including up to five years in jail if this was really pushed all the way in court. (Not that I'm recommending going that far, but just so everyone knows.)
Voller:
When I read the seller's text it sounded to me like he just copied it from the UFO:AI website, hence the "we". People like him make me sick.
Zenerka:
I hope all of you are aware of the fact, that if anyone will remove the stuff released under CC-Attribute-NonCommercial, he is free to sell the rest stuff in UFO:AI and that will be pretty legal.

I realized I was the one who kicked off this little thread, but has anyone considered additional exposure (even this) might be good for the project?
Just a thought.
