Does anyone have any information on this guy?
It says licensed. Is he full of fudge?

Slater would likely need to report them.

Lol, from a licensed portfolio. Does that mean he printed it from a photo of a licensed copy? That doesn't make it licensed.

Any mediocre print or better is being reproduced on ebay on cheap poly canvas. Saw that goofy fudge called "Displate". Im sure they are willing to rip any art. I like the magnet mounts but Ive never messed with plates.

eBay won’t do fudge about it.
Some cunnt is offering 10 copies of dozens of Malleus.

ebay chop shop - kind of surprised a letter from an attorney couldn't stop this and put them in a position for a major payout especially if ebay isn't taking action after being reported, continous lack of rule enforcement for profit etc

ebay is basically selling stolen goods (nothing new - another corporate maggot)

artists should unite and shove a big stick.....even pawn shops are subject to laws

if what's his name can sue for a bootleg, this should be a mountain of gold - ebay can't police a 2 year old :D

These are cut pages from my book. They call it a 'licensed porfolio' lol. Just a heads up.

I get a few emails a week about this seller but I think it's legal to cut pages from a book you own and sell them.
It's a major bummer though and I wish they'd stop. So many confused messages I've been getting about this.
