Blood for the Baron!

So the other day I was happily surfing through eBay when my coffee came out through my nostrils.

Look at this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... &rd=1&rd=1

I contacted the little f*ck directly, here is a record of the conversation:

Bloodforthebaron:
Whoo must've cost you a fortune to download my scans.
BLOOD FOR THE BARON!!!

Greendeezel:
You have confused me! I've been collecting Transformers & Action Force for 20 years now.

Bloodforthebaron:
Right then,
You went to my website http://www.bloodforthebaron.com, downloaded my scans for free and are now selling them on ebay. It's very cheeky, I spent a lot of time and effort creating my website.
More importantly, the only reason I am allowed to host scans online is that my site is non-profit based. For you to sell my work is actually violating copyright and jeopardising my agreement with Rebellion.
Please remove your auction, I scanned my comics to share with fans for free and you are ripping them off. I can see from your feedback that lcjengineeringproducts thought you were selling the actual comics.

Greendeezel:
Hello,
I have not downloaded anything. I didn't even try to do so. So i have not compromised any copyright etc... I really don't know what you are taking about, so please get off my case!
I merely direct people to your site. I do inform them that they are not bidding for physical copies. So if they purchase, they know what to expect.
I understand your frustration, but honestly, i have not downloaded anything! I have tried and i can't gain access, so believe me i would love to because i am a HUGE fan!!!
Out of curiousity, i noticed one of the links are for the actual figures. Do you sale them?

Bloodforthebaron:
You're SELLING a hyperlink to my free website?? And you don't think that's taking the p*ss?
F*ck off!
Jim

And so I have done this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... &rd=1&rd=1

I have also been in contact with his victims to extend my apologies and invite them to join the fourm. eBay have refused to intervene as I am not the original copyright holder.

Please, everyone, bid and leave him negative feedback. If anyone has bid on any of his items, can I have his address please?

I can't believe this guy hasn't even got the decency to at least send a copy out on CD!!!!!


The guy is definetly one checky fella, just posting a link,


How can EBay allow him to get away with this!!!

Nice response.

Just noticed that Greendeezel has been a member of this board for a few months as well,

Any chance of banning him or something.

There's a similar situation happening with my good friend Moose from sevenpennynightmare. mighty_collection is selling his scans and ignoring his e-mails:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... &rd=1&rd=1

Please, everyone, harangue, boycott and initimidate this scumbag. Moose has listed his own auction here:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... &rd=1&rd=1

Git.

Please, everyone, PM this loser.

I always contact his buyers to apologise and invite them over to the boards.

Git.

Well well well.

I just received this reply from chaosoddity, buyer of baltazar1916's auction.

chaosoddity wrote:Hi,

i've just received an email which I will paste to the bottom of this message. It is indeed your website which he is selling a link to.

The email address he used to send the link is greendeezel@hotmail.co.uk

The email:-

"Thank you for the interest in the above item. The link that you require is as follows: http://www.bloodforthebaron.com

Enjoy"

Little sh*t.

bloodforthebaron wrote:Excuse me, are you selling my scans?

Jim.

bloodforthebaron wrote:Mate, that's really cheeky.

I spent a great deal of time and effort creating my website, with the intention of it being freely available for all. There are many personal motivations behind it, not least of which is for me to give something back.

Please remove your auction.

Jim.

bloodforthebaron wrote:Damian, I know this is you mate. I thought we were past this?

Do I get a share of the profits then?

Jim.

Baltazar1916 wrote:Hello,

My name is Taman, not Damian. Dont understand how you mix it up! I bought this link last year and forgot about it until I was searching my bookmarks...

Baltazar1916 wrote:As I mentioned before, I bought link last year from Green?? I thought it was okay to resell..
Sorry, I will remove item then..

Who is Damian?

bloodforthebaron wrote:Yeah whatever. Chaosoddity already told me you e-mailed him the link from greendeezel@hotmail.co.uk.

Take it down or I shall bid on it with every single one of my ebay accounts and leave you negative for each.

what a total prick

I contacted the buyer, chaosoddity, who told me the link was sent to him from greendeezel@hotmail.co.uk

As I said before, I haven't traded on Ebay since Easter 2006, so GREENDEEZEL (my user name is longer registered). This is only email account that I use (damiangray53@hotmail.com). Sure I stopped selling that link after we had that silly slagging match...
