Title: UQM on ebay Post by: Krulle on October 31, 2019, 10:21:47 am Someone (Matthias (http://www.star-control.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1338)) on the PoNaF forum pointed to an e-bay sale:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/123752048451 They even brand it as "MT Software Solution". I tried reported the item, but I don't have an e-bay account, so e-bay does not let me report this item. BTW, Matthias also cannot complete the registration procedure for this UQM forum. Quote Copyright Interesting, they state that only the installer and the screenshot are GNU GPL, the rest is their "protected IP"....This item is copyrighted. Any reproduction, duplication or resale of this DVD-ROM is prohibited. The individual software installer and screenshots are released under the GNU GPL. The license is available on the DVD-ROM. All other images, items, box image, DVD-ROM menus and designs are copyrighted and contain our protected IP. Copyright © MT Software Solutions. Which is simply not true, MT Software Solutions is a British company... Since under EU law they have to pay for the returns, we could massively buy the product, and return it unopened, and have ebay refund the stuff. But as I wrote, I don't have (and don't want) an ebay account.

Paul Reiche III is on this forum (https://forum.uqm.stack.nl/index.php?action=profile;u=6934), and he can probably be reached through other channels as well. Has anyone tried to report it to him? Title: Re: UQM on ebay Post by: Krulle on November 05, 2019, 08:12:20 pm I don't think they check here for any value of regularly...
Also, can't message them private messages on their twitter account twitter.com/Dogar_And_Kazon .... Don't want to send the an e-mail to TfB.... Title: Re: UQM on ebay Post by: metamorphosis on December 26, 2019, 07:59:16 am I've tweeted at them and Stardock. Hopefully someone will take it down. Despicable pirates!
Looking at those screencaps, it's the HD version of UQM too, so they're ripping off multiple parties. |
