so thats the same as saying if someone is Trolling on another forum, that they should be welcome here on Anandtech.

Think about what you said! Thats like if someone was caught selling pirated stuff on Hardforums or AMD forums that it should be overlooked because it didn't happen here. Bullsh!t man. You know better than that.

I honestly don't care. It's eBays problem not mine.

Of course if I disliked/hated them, that would be a different story.

Mind your own business.

If this lifer starts to sell stuff like child porno. or rob a lady on the street, sure I'll step in. But this auction looks harmless.

Do you simply work all day on 'finding' out people and attempting to bash others? I seriously don't think you have ever had anything good to say about anything.

First off, ho wdo you know this person is selling pirated DVDs? Did you buy one? Is he mis-representing the item for sale?

I was just wondering what people would do. The person I am talking about is a lifer and has over 12,000 post here...

Unless they're Elite, postcount and rank mean nothing.

so its ok for an elite member to sell pirated disks?

you guys are a sad lot. i wouldn't want someone selling me dvd-r's if they were saying they were selling the movie. and most of you are blindly avocating that which is wrong. it drives up dvd and movie prices. if you want to collect stuff for yourself whatever, but don't turn around and sell it to others. that's LAME and that's not the kind of person i want in fs/t.

HOWEVER. if it's for something that you can't get that's a little different. if you're dropping episodes of mr ed on dvd that you can't get from somewhere else and say that in your auction then whatever, that's a bit different. you aren't ripping ppl off that think they are getting legit dvds and you aren't selling something that can be obtained legally.

so i guess it depends on the situation. if it was the first one tho, AT person or not i'd probably let ebay know so it didn't continue. i'd hate to be the one buying fake crap thinking it was real.

actually i dont think its that stupid. I'm getting the feeling the reason people are saying its ok are because the OP stated it is a lifer selling it.

i would do nothing!
if it really bugs you then maybe report it to ebay, def do nothing here at anand as long as they have done nothing wrong at anand
also i'd go with the old saying "don't burn bridges you may one day have to walk over"

Not my problem. Don't see people dieing. Don't see rappers, ceo's, pop-stars, actors living on the street or, Gasp wearing less than 10,000 dollars in jewelry.

(spelling)
If it were you, no problem. :p

Moron. Getting "involved" can get you killed.

A citizen's DUTY in that (extreme) case - UNLIKE this "probable piracy" one - is to call the police and try to remember dsetails of the crime and serve as a witness. ;)

:roll:

EDIT: And in your terrible extreme example, perhaps the man was retreiving HIS purse from the woman thief.


Yeah just like that case where the guys friend raped/ murdered that little girl in the bathroom in Vegas while he did nothing to stop him. So he was right in minding his own business and not getting involved?

"Moron. Getting "involved" can get you killed." - apoppin

People who think like that make me sick.
People who can't think outside their tiny little world make me sick.

Good thing I wasn't a dentist, I hit a nerve!

So suddently because someone has 12000 posts on AT that excuses them from following the law?

Software piracy is one thing, but selling pirated software is downright horrid.

Report their sorry ass to the MPAA and whoever the hell deals with software piracy. Let them deal with ebay.


Post their ebay name already, you sissy.
