I used a TinyURL like this... http://tinyurl.com/42cb3zo
to take 115 characters down to 26.

Also notified the art Devs with links to official trademarked Paragon Studios images on that sellers page.

I imagine the vast majority of that person's stuff is stolen/unauthorized media use.
Unfortunately there was a major blackout yesterday in this region. The wild weather cut power my entire town and has only come back on recently. Have contacted Ed and sent along the details raised by the vigilant City of Heroes folks.

I made a DA forum post regarding this jerk and got a few responses.. one even alerted another DA artist of one of their pics being ripped. Hope more will take notice.

The great sea of the internet. I remember in HS a friend of mine put together a runescape website made a bunch of custom icons and gifs and what not. He was browsing another guys website and pop there's his gif and a bunch of his work. He was typing so furiously that the teacher pulled the plug on his computer. Anonymity on the internet is really empowering to some people.

I wonder if the theif is a CoH player and if so if we can have his account and access to the site yanked...

So long as it isn't something they had made which seems to be the case. I believe that would constitute a breach of the EULA. But I'm not a lawyer. Ebay isn't likely to play fast and loose with the personal information of a user that is in good standing with them at least.

Okay, went back today and noted that a bunch of the images have had the sales auto-ended.



Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

If you look at one of the auction items, over to the right is a box with "Other item info". Item location is listed as "Item location:Asia, Russian Federation" which is likely China.

Edit: And it looks like anything that had previously been labeled 'City of Heroes' is gone, at least from the Games section. Doesn't mean they wont rename them and put them up under something else. There are also a ton of Aion, Guild Wars, and Lineage images there as well.

I am not the betting sort, but I would wager real money that there isn't a single license for anything offered by that shop.
