    Hi every one, I noticed such low prices on software the other day and thought it didn't seem right, so I started searching by my own and look what I found. Seller cyberpcs 99.8% positive feedback, sold thousands of products. Can be trusted huh??? Yeah, thats what I thought until I saw this; Here is a link to the official SIIA (Software & Information Industry Association) paper stating the a lawsuit against him, It includes his eBay username and real name: http://news.prnewswire.com/DisplayReleaseContent.aspx?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/12-09-2008/0004939092&EDATE=]http://news.prnewswire.com/DisplayReleaseContent.aspx?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/12-09-2008/0004939092&EDATE=

    Here is the same article directly from the SIIA paper: http://docs.google.com/gview?a=v&q=cache%3AQZXlyKh3GXsJ%3Awww.siia.net%2Fpress%2Freleases%2FAP%2520Cases%2520Dec%252008.pdf+Tony+Kornrumpf&hl=en&gl=us]http://docs.google.com/gview?a=v&q=cache%3AQZXlyKh3GXsJ%3Awww.siia.net%2Fpress%2Freleases%2FAP%2520Cases%2520Dec%252008.pdf+Tony+Kornrumpf&hl=en&gl=us
    Not enough? This link will take you to the info about another lawsuit against him, this time from Adobe Systems Incorporated:

    Here is an example of what will happen if a company is using this illegal software: http://siia.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=338:real-life-examples-of-piracy&catid=162:anti-piracy-articles&Itemid=351]http://siia.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=338:real-life-examples-of-piracy&catid=162:anti-piracy-articles&Itemid=351
    I am so disappointed on this issue. This seller is making thousands a day out of innocent people that don't know about this issue. What did eBay do about this? NOTHING!!!!! I have reported this seller and eBay probably didn't even read it cause I am just a simple buyer with 14 feedback......... By the way the SIIA pays you up to one million dollars just for reporting companies using this illegal software, how bad is that for someone that buys from him??? I apologize if i insulted anyone, is just that I am extremely disappointed with eBay. Unfortunately eBay is not a safe place to buy anymore. I hope someone takes action over this ASAP before more people buy illegal software...

    Most times Ebay will remove the listing at the last moment.
