The reporting system is not completely friendly to this kind of violation.  The best match I can come up with is "unauthorized multi-game" or something of that nature.

Is there a vigilante group out there which monitors for this type of transgression?  Anyone interested in coordinating or participating in one?

Three hours to go... I doubt eBay will yank it before this guy makes his money.

FWIW, this was my question to him:

Item: Amiga Emulator WinUAE + 237 Classic Games eg GAUNTLET (280045390981)
This message was sent while the listing was active.
loadwb is a potential buyer.

Does this CD include the necessary ROM files?

And this is his response:

mogant0 is the seller.

yep


So, it's quite evident to me that, other software not withstanding, he is selling illegal copies of the Amiga Kickstart ROM(s).

EDIT: When I just looked, the listing is shown as removed.

Yeah, I noticed you started already.  Any chance you could take that elsewhere?
