Re: [DML] Re: Delorean DVD - Copyright infringment?

[Hank <heskin@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's clear VB is trying to CHA by including the following:

"* Note to eBay VERO Program:
This video features compilations of public domain footage, or
non-licensed video footage where the copyright is either expired or
has not been renewed as verified by the library of congress."

I don't buy it - I'd like to see the proof that this program is in the
public domain and/or the copyright has expired.  To to quiet everyone
down VB, how about a letter from The History Channel giving you rights
to sell this program?  And just because it's a "compilation" doesn't
get around the fact that part of it is copyrighted and illegal to
distribute.

(BTW, the Ebay VERO program is the "Verified Rights Owner" program on
Ebay that allows mark owners to close auctions in violation of their
trademarks and copyrights".  It's apparent that someone has been
complaining to Ebay about these auctions and shutting them down, and
these are attempts by VB to keep them up.)

And that disclaimer was on the mysteriously closed auction.   Here is
his replacement (97 available):

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2493812184&category=42606

Now he just says "I am the owner and creator of this Video DVD
Compilation." which is clearly BS.   He doesn't own the material, even
if it is in the public domain.
