Save Game Cleaner being sold on eBay

Hi there.

I think the owner of the program is necroman but I can't remember so... I've written a thread.

Can the owner of the program please go here and give the auction seller a spanking for selling your goods please?

People profiting from selling FM stuff has been happening more and more lately and I generally get 10-15 shut down every two weeks. It's almost impossible for those who make skins as they're not really identifiable unless they're named.

Not really. eBay don't seem to care about the small rights holders. They merely remove the auction, and refund their money. This guy has already had two of my items (MCFM) removed and he hasn't stopped. Marc Duffy has kindly said that he would submit complaints under SEGA rights (which would give users much more oomph) but it takes forever from him getting an email to ebay shutting the auction down).

You're right, it is disgusting.

However, surely they can just claim that they are selling it as something of a service, the fee being for the CD upon which it is burnt.

I can't be bothered to look at the moment, but what prices are these things going for?

That would all be true Matt if it wasn't for one thing...

I couldn't care if somebody makes 1 penny out of our software or £1m. The fact is, they're making money from something which is, otherwise,free to all.

Well, what can I say?
I have no experience in this kind of "deals". I know english badly, so I can't curse those who sell Cleaner.

Basically, I have no objection against including Cleaner in this disk. This program created for people - fans of FM. If someone's conscience allows to sell free software to them...
