Ok, seen it now. Well, regarding the games, I guess there's not much for you to do. It's for some games -perhaps- more a Bazix case, even. But if you have a BlueMSX EULA somewhere in which you state that the end user can't sell BlueMSX then you have a case. Contacting ebay won't hurt I guess.. Tongue

I noticed this one too. I think the only thing that you can do is contact ebay to remove it. Not sure if you have included anything about reselling the emulator in the license.

Well, trickery... but is Vampier's title one that came from the ebay ad? In case of a clash between dvik and the ebay user who placed the ad, the user may bring on that he wasn't selling BlueMSX, only the games, and that BlueMSX came as a free bonus. He may be assuming that selling an emulator is tricky, but that selling games is safe as they're all old aged games from long-gone companies.

GPL allows software to be sold. If you try to stop the seller, he'll probably claim he's selling the CD + his effort for collecting the files+burning them on the CD. Selling those games and BIOS ROMs is illegal though, if you notify eBay, they'll most likely remove his auctions.

I just realized blueMSX contains cbios and the cheats the openMSX and blueMSX team have made independend from the emulators.

You could send a Electronic Notice of Infringement to VERO at Ebay, but with only three hours left the auction will end before Ebay will respond. If you'd like to protect BlueMSX from being sold at Ebay you should register yourself with Ebay for the VeRO program as the IP owner of BlueMSX.

The auction seems to have ended now. Its not so much about distribution and sales of the emulator that I don't like but since Bazix stated their policy about distributing games (the msx mbox package for example) I don't want blueMSX to appear in these type of bundles.

I filed a complaint with ebay, it seems they closed all auctions. on top of that I sent the guy a nice little e-mail Smile

I will be monitoring your e-bay profile and I will consult with my legal adviser. Make no mistake about it I will prosecute you to the fullest extend of the law.
