Style Disk and SD cards on Ebay - 04/28/07 04:51 AM
Hi to All,
It appears that more and more SD cards and additional style disk are showing up on Ebay UK and US more consistenly especially for Technics Instruments.
Unfortunately most of these cards are bootleg copies of material that are still being sold by the original companies that produced them along with a limited number of distributors. Also I understand that some of these companies have stolen styles and data from other person's website.
I believe that the people selling this material on ebay feel that since Technics is out of business it is OK to mass produce this data and continue to sell anything they can duplicate or get their hands on.
However most of the styles are copyrighted by the individual independent companies that
are still actively in business.
Myself and several other companies are putting e-bay on notificiation of this illegal practice and are asking Ebay to take the necessary steps to stop this.
We all look for "deals" on ebay to save a few dollars here and there. There are certainly real deals out there but please use caution and common sense when dealing with these bandits that mass produce this data.
