What are all of your thoughts on people selling Pokemon on Ebay? Personally, I think they are huge faggots looking for a quick buck. I'm going to laugh my ass off when Nintendo looks into it and arrests all of them for profiting off copyright.

But then shouldn't people get sued for selling commissions of fanart?

Just report them.
But make sure you message them letting them know it was you who reported them.
Ebay bans them and you get a nice laugh of the rage mail they send you.
I have reported 350 people.
Maybe tomorrow when I'm off I'll make a thread on /vp/ about the funniest messages I have received.

Yes.
For two reasons.
One according to Ebay it artificially inflates your score and two copyright.

>copyright
Well, it's not copyright. This shit happens across all games everywhere. WoW, Animal Crossing, etc.

Unless you mean it's Ebay's way of making 100% sure there's no copyright.

"Virtual Property. Some games or other content may have certain features that may be traded with other Nintendo DSi users. For example, a game might give you the ability to create a character that gathers objects (like a car or gold coins) and has certain characteristics (like a special ability or appearance). These features are sometimes called "virtual property." Nintendo (or its licensors) own this virtual property, and you may not sell, trade, assign, license, or otherwise convey virtual property for real money or for Points."

This is not related to copyright, but it's breach of contract/license.

And virtual property is a wonky subject that probably doesn't even have a legal definition in many jurisdictions.

I think it was in a FoxTrot comic... Not too sure about that.

I don't think Nintendo would give a shit, because it's not like they're losing money off of it. It requires both parties to own a 3DS and a copy of Pokemon, so they already have their sale.

I do agree that they are scum of the earth, though.

PSA: Nintendo's CoC isn't related to copyright law or any legal system whatsoever in any way.

Nintendo might brick your game* or something if you fuck with them, but they can't take any legal action against you.
*This is just an example and has never actually happened to anyone so far.

Moreover the law always takes precedence over contracts. Various legislatures have their own stances on "virtual property" which automatically voids any agreement you might've had with Nintendo.

A lot of countries also outlaw certain kinds of legal agreements altogether. For example anything that includes something along the lines of "you automatically accept these terms by [using a system or playing a game]" is automatically void in most of the civilized world.

With that said, I personally feel like paying for "virtual property" is a special kind of retarded. Exploiting this special kind of retards on the other hand is something I have no issues with.

Same guy who got 350 banned.
Half of them were so called guides.
That word means nothing to Ebay.
