Anyone from CBS or Pocket reading here?

Might want to look at this eBay auction (link removed). A seller is selling "over 550" Star Trek ebooks on cd. Here's where it gets fun:

EBAY STAFF / VERO INFORMATION REGARDING THIS LISTING AND ITEM

This professionally made item conforms to all EBay policies including the compilation and international media policy.
Information contained in the documents and other material are not under copyright and are freely available within the public domain located around the internet, full information available on request.
We are an Authorized Licensed Reseller for the products we have listed on eBay.

They've sold 7 so far, and have two listings for the same thing with the same seller.

It's quote obviously illegal, otherwise why would they put that disclaimer up claiming that it's legit? I'm thinking if someone here is from CBS or Pocket, they might want to stop these scammers.

^ Thanks for the heads-up. I have alerted the CBS Consumer Products office, and they have notified their IP legal division. They will handle the matter from here.

Thanks for bringing that to their attention, since it is in their hands now, I have removed the link as per board rules.

The real scam is that people are paying for something illegal when they could just as easily illegally download a torrent full of the things for free. Geez, if you're going to break the law, do it right!
