counterfeit 3d files?

Post by Ernie Balch »

I was searching for a 3d stl file and found amazing deals on ebay until I realized that quite a few were identical to ones I bought from vectric. I can’t believe ebay allows counterfeit files to be sold there. I hope they get shut down by the real owners.

The owner of the copyrighted material needs to report this to eBay so eBay can take down the listings. This is done through the Verified Rights Owner Program.

Has been going on for years, reporting seems to do precious little good.
