Counterfeit Audiobooks for Sale on ebay

[lordmerchant]

I was looking for some audiobook of the dark tower series to listen to whilst I am driving, and decided to check on ebay and see what is available, and my search lead me here
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Stephen-King-D...item43a3e2fa7c

Having read through this I wonder how this guy is allowed to trae on ebay, sounds to me like he basically downloaded all of the audiobooks and burns them to a dvd and charges £4.50 for the privelage. Surely this has got to break copyright laws. Having checked his other items for sale it seems he is making a very tidy profit by doing this with other popular works, e.g. lord of the rings, james bond - how can he get away with this?

This month alone he has 124 positive feedback - the average price of one of his discs in approx £4.50 - so by my reckoning thats £558 (ebay fees not included) for selling kock-off audiobooks without permission!

;cry: crap! i saw the thread title , and wanting to get some more audios of TDT too, I came in to read this.
I'm sure its against the law....he will have to shut down, and may have charges brought against him.( hopes)

sorry to get your hopes up alinda, i think I will change the thread title (it is a bit misleading)

[alinda]

how would you like to change it?

[lordmerchant]

I thought i would be able to edit the thread title myself, seems not - perhaps it should be changed to "counterfit audiobooks for sale on ebay" thanks
