This was already reported by "UnseenWorld" earlier on.

I think I would be talking to Paypal.

Of all the STUPID things that I've seen people try doing to rip people off, that's the STUPIDEST. Can you imagine the trouble that dumb ass got himself into ? Stealing content and selling it as his own to webmasters who are putting their asses on the line by using it. I know that I'd be thinking lawsuit if I bought something from him that he stated was his and come to find out, it wasn't.

I've just seen images that look like Viv Thomas, who sells via a broker I do business with.
We are both part of APIC.
If this guy is stealing any of their members images the site is history.
Well normally gone. They serve legal notice on the hosts and that does the trick. I think the billing company should also be informed.
We're amazed the site is stil up.

I've informed the broker and APIC lets see how fast it goes:thumbsup

Slick, he probably has not got any money. Could be a kid or low life with nothing to lose.
It's like getting a model to sign an exclusive contract. What you going too spend $10,000 trying to sue some one with $10:(

He's almost definitely breaking Federal law. This guy could do some time for this.

http://www.downloadablecontent.com/sets/spin/index.html looks like lightspeed

have just spent 20 fucking minutes trying to get to speak to some one at Ebay. This is a copyright issue. I'm not a lawyer and maybe we should be speaking to one. But i believe that from the time they are served legal notice they are liable for damages.
Any one know an ambulance chaser

I've just been told by Bruce the site is down.:thumbsup :thumbsup :ak47:

you guys need to contact APIC not EBAY :)

I did Steve said he knew of him and was on the case. GOOD MAN TO HAVE IN YOUR CORNER.
The hosts usually take notice of him.

yep that's lightspeed content

Yeah, there is stuff from Ounique, Matrix, and three sets from Lightspeed. I know they don't have our permission to be selling it. I just got off the phone with Lightspeed's attorney....... Let the fun begin.

Just send a C&D and if it is not removed then take him to court...

Sample C&D (just modify it to your liking)
http://builder.cnet.com/webbuilding/...5-8-4500031-22

Get all webmasters whose content was stolen and present a class action suit. Stealing goods is one thing, selling stolen goods takes it farther. Technically, he could be liable from the time his domain went online.

So they sale for cheap price ! :feels-hot
shit i just buy 3 of them

Some one should serve notice on Ebay, this being a copyright issue could drag them in and thay could be worth going for.

Here's theie email address

[email protected]

You gat an automated response and when you phone them the girl just puts you through to an answer machine. Could be a newspaper article here.

i just got back from jamaica with lightspeed,he is gonna love seeing this.

this guy is making freinds fast!

hey bonepron,hit me on icq

checked a little while ago and the site was down. unseen got apic after them. i have been firing off emails to ebay since yesterday. talked to oliver klosov and none of it was his. talked to fresh photos and some of their stuff was up there.

The fucking site is still up and working...

goddamnit...I gotta talk to cyberpunk......his content is so shitty, this cuntface isn't stealing it....cyberpunk's probably feeling left out.....

Maybe im a retard and havent read all of this thread, but has anyone tried to contact PayPal and inform them that this person is selling stolen property?

The offending paypal acct is [email protected]

If so, any success? PayPal is hard to get in touch with, but here is some contact info, grabbed from a *ahem* fan site... paypalwarning.com ...

We have an account with Paypal and they should react. They uusually are very good. Some one put the facts on a fax and send it to the numbers. Mikey gave.
It's long distance from here.

APIC said;

His host's phone number is a fake. THe Upstream provider is a kid. ????
The registered domain owner claims he sold the site and to stop emailing
him????

ok... this is getting out of hand.. they have changed the site to;

http://www.adultcontentprovider.org/

but the other site still works... this guy has some balls... guess its time to get nasty...:BangBang:

peace
greg

so now paypal should be informed that the offending client is also [email protected] ... this is the paypal acct name they are using on new site...

slimeballs...

Mikey

if you know the thief's real name and state he lives in, if it is the USA, icq me i can find anything out on the guy, to include SSN, DL number, addresses, home values etc

If your material is on this guys site.

Go here and fill in the form to get him off of Ebay.

http://pages.ebay.com/help/community...-infringe2.pdf

On the top of the first page: "This web site is for sale. If you are interested, please e-mail here."

Does that leave any poor sucker who buys the site libal for receving stolen goods?

It makes the ISP very open, if we've told him. I've told Paypal and Ebay and K-man has sent the guys life story to Aaron, did you get it AMP?
I just want to nail this fucckers balls to the fucking top of his head. Without cutting them off
:mad: :ak47:
How come he's still up APIC usually work better than this.

Just a quick onr to say, you may have forgotten about this but APIC has not.
It's being worked on right now.
