MapThis on Ebay

[FatesWebb]

That's an interesting development

I doubt there is much point in reporting things like this - EBay seems to have a very lax policy (see how many collections of copied and preloaded PSP games there are).

For people planning to sell Map This! and/or any kind of maps: selling navigation equipment/data for use in vehicles is potentially more serious than just selling pirated games (see the disclaimers in most of the online map services about using the maps for driving). And, I would imagine, very different rules apply to someone creating the maps and using them themselves versus being sold a fully working solution.

Just a friendly warning, if you sell a product and/or service, you may end up being considered responsible for situations like this: http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/03...baquatic_merc/

actually I did complain to ebay, and about 30 minutes later the item had ended, so I think that is why....

HAHA! Well these people obviously have nothing better to do. I mean come on, selling free things? Thats like someones girlfriend asking you for money in the morning after you got lucky.
Deniska, copyright the software as a freeware and make sure no one steals or profits from your hard effort.

Many people do sell pirated software.
The problem is most authors do not find it worthwhile to pusue it and that is not good.
There is no problem with Mapthis as it is.

i dont think flaming helps much and proofs you not being cool-headed enough to cause any harm to them ^^

i actually dont care what people sell at ebay. its their risk and the customers stupidity. if i was deniska i would be glad to be known so well, thats all
