Blades of Glory ebay listing removed

[ulri4651]

Title says it all. Guess someone caught on, although I'm curious to know if it was a fake or not.

[that guy steveee]

he can probably still set something up with one of the bidders outside of ebay

[Mericalis]

Well folks, who knows, I still wonder if he was bidding on his own stuff. But then again, it might be PM or M$ or something like that...or it could be like someone said, it might be fake.

[darkpoet25]

This doesn't surprise me. I'd laugh if someone at To$hiba or M$ found about it and got it pulled.

[Lord_Stewie]

that sucks for the person selling it. i bet somone reported it to paramount.

When selling something controversial, always go for the 3-day listing!

I thought the same thing, I would have done a 1 day weekend auction

[Weez_Dawg]

Damn, is it that great of a movie that no one can wait 18 months or at least buy sd dvd????

Paramount and Dreamworks are sure playing dirty with this. I hope the owner of the disk sues them over censuring his auction. It sure has become an embarrasment to them. It just proves that they sold out.

[L or S of Perfect?]

there's an ongoing thread on the avsforum.

Anyone else think that someone sent an email to ebay to have it pulled and make it look official, but not really from Dreamworks? Look at the return email address to reach Dreamworks SKG. Doesn't look like a corporate email to me.

[WickyWoo]

I'd say they owe him $510

This is obviously a firm they hire to kill bootlegs on Ebay

Something wrong with this picture. People sell new and used movies all the time on e-bay. No property right infringment is valid in this case. Ebay is supposed to be a venue for people buying and selling their own personal items that they want to relinquish or aquire. I sold on ebay for over two years. Sold some new and used DVDs and VHS movies as well. Never had ebay pull any of my personal items off the site. Guess that 150 mil has made a few new friends...

[Mericalis]

If someone using the manufacturer's photos is in violation of these terms, then there are a lot of eBay members who are guilty of the same thing. I'm wondering about the post at the moment. And unless the item is a bootleg copy, then it makes no sense that DreamWorks would be all that upset about it that they would yank it off.

[D1-2005]

maybe it was a fake, this is the only copy anyone can show proof of. maybe they never pressed any and thats why they knew to pull it. if not their just pissed someone can make that much money off a movie and they cant

[Jack Torrance]

There was a "Beavis & Butthead" collection released by MTV/Paramount a couple of years ago, that Mike Judge had not approved and they had to pull it just before release.

Yet copies that slipped through were sold on Ebay, and still are to this day.

The fact that they're doing this on BOG is odd... there is definitely something up here.

[WickyWoo]

I wouldn't do conspiracy theory until there's evidence of such. Seriously

This screams overzealous firm who has been assigned to hunt out and stop bootlegs

[LoneRangers]

Eh, it's not really a big deal I say we move on to something else that doesn't revolve around Paramount.

[Alley]

if you notice now real scammers are popping up. there are a couple bluray copies listed on ebay now, but if you read the description they say, its not really bluray.
