At the bottom of this page is a link to report people for copyright violation. They face the following penalties:
Listing cancellation
Limits on account privileges
Account suspension
Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings
Loss of PowerSeller status
Additionally, damages may be charged to citizens in any country that signed the Berne Convention. Software piracy is encouraged in some cultures, but the piracy is limited to freely distributing overcharged software. There are no people that encourage stealing something that is free so you can sell it.
I am considering starting a separate thread for people to find copyright violations of forex materials (code and Ebooks) on Ebay and close them down. Additionally, we may contact the copyright holders, and present them with the necessary information from Ebay to collect the funds earned, legal fees, and copyright violation fees. Volunteers would likely earn nothing for doing this, but we could show authors like Hendrick that we appreciate their efforts. Anyone interested?

I will definetely support that. As a matter of fact, I did searches on ebay yesterday and found a lot of people selling highly suspect EA's. I have contributed to this thread just like everyone else on this thread. I take no credit for an EA/idea that I had nothing to do with and I believe anyone who would should be reported. Everyone here has shared their time/ideas/results freely but it would be unfair for any of us to take credit for tweaking some settings that the author of this EA built into it so that we could make those adjustments. I think this is fantastic what people have done here and it should not be abused.
