Ooh, Their Sueing Them Software Pirates on eBay, Finally..
Found it in pcpro today, that Adobe and Symantec are now taking nine indeviduals to court over their selling of illegal pirated software on eBay, as they are “Tired Of Waiting for eBay to take action” , not suprising really. Should have happened earlier, selling pirated stuff is just beyond pathetic. Guys, make them find it for themselves! xD
What amazes me is that a lot of people on eBay buy this stuff, and don’t think twice about it. Most of them have no idea that it’s illegal, ignorance seems to be abundant on eBay.
The lawsuits, filed by the Software and Information Industry Association, known as SIIA, are apparently the biggest filed to date over such a subject, which means that maybe they are finally taking a stand, which is good for them, and not so good for software pirates everywhere.
It seems that eBay is ‘reluctant’ to take any action against pirates, and I’m sure this is the first of many companies taking things into their own hands.
