Anyone know who eBay member "digiclick148" is? Because he is stealing from me.

The RIAA has successfully sued private citizens who got illegal copies of music off the internet for tens of thousands of dollars.

Just sayin'.
 
I know someone posted a link to his store but at first, I tried to find him on EBay by username and couldn't figure it out. Can someone explain it to me so I might keep an eye on him on occasion. By the looks of his store, he also had some other boot legged
DVDs for sale.
Thanks.

You have to go into advanced search, and its self explanatory once you get inside.
 
If there's anything I can do to help Justin, let me know. I'm taking a trip to my in-laws next month in Pennsylvania. I could drop by and have a chat :)

DVD Copy's

Thanks to a friend I got a heads up about some douchebag going by the handle "digiclick148." on eBay. He is selling bootleg copies of our most expensive dvd set for about half price.

This isnt the first time its happened and I know it goes on but I am sick of it so from now on I am going to do my best to at least out these scumbags. So if anyone knows this POS please let me know. Via PM is fine if you don't want to get involved.

I have reported the issue to eBay and will be hounding this dude. These are burned discs labeled with magic marker and no case. It isnt someone reselling a genuine article.

I realize by talking about this some people may actually go buy the set from the guy. But thats ok because those people would be douchebags too and its probably not worth dealing with them. Its damn hard to survive in this industry without fading things like this.

Yeah. I am pissed.


Man your fighting a loosing battle here, this guy is only one of hundred's around the USA and World that make copy's of pool matches and sell them, I know you can get any match ever played for $10.00, and less for bulk, including TAR production DVD's.

So what do you suggest I do?

I can either fight people stealing from me when I find them or quit making things. Also if you are buying ripped off DVD's you are as a big a part of the problem as the guy selling them. One day when you look around and wonder why no one is making DVD's anymore you will have a good idea why that is.
 
i tricked him into letting me send a money order for a cue case so i got his info for you...green bomb me

Looks like "Thane Myers" has a history of activity in the pool world.

From a March 1987 Pool and Billiards Magazine letter to the editor:

Pool & Billiard Magazine,

Since I, too, am interested in soft leather cue cases I wrote to the address you supplied in the January 1987 issue in response to Mr. Thane Myers request, I am enclosing the card I wrote which was returned to me because of "insufficient address".

Perhaps in a future issue of this best magazine of the world's greatest sport you could print a "sufficient address" for Longhom Case CO.

Many thanks for your help in this matter, and also for Pool.

The problem is nobody has fought a battle. Hold people accountable. Take on some people and it won't be so easy for people to do this for many reasons. Can you win this war? That's not the point.

There's also the issue of legal precedence. If you successfully prosecute this, once, then it's easier to do, next time.

Justin,

I was selling stuff on e-bay for a brand name and had to deal with fakes and copies all the time. What you want to do is shut down the source -- people making the multiple copies or misrepresenting the materials.

The ebay sellers are usually responsvie. On e-bay you can send them a PM or report the auctions. A polite but stern letter worked for me every single time. I would write something to the effect that "you are selling an item that is an illegal copy of my material - please remove the auction and refrain from using my company name or materials in the future." The auctions disappeared quickly. most sellers don't want troubles with e-bay.

This guy here probably just bought some copies and re-sold them.

It's easy to search the DVD's. After a month of doing this, all the fakes were gone from my manufacturer.

I don't know if you recall, but I alerted you to a commercial source of bootleg TAR copies several years ago . I'll check out some stuff and PM you.

A thief is a thief is a thief !

No matter how you slice it...The guy is a POS thief with no regards for anybody but himself & hope he gets what he really deserves...I have a DVD collection & have no idea how many i actually have but probally at least 2000...I can say that none of them are copies...I've bought plenty bulk lots from ebay but not a 1 bootleg or burned copy...It's still a crime no matter how petty some people might think it is.JMO on the matter.

I'm with ya man, you do all the work and the sleeze balls get up on ya!, but it's not only Tar production DVD's, but main stream movies are on the market before they ever get released these days, and seems like they come from the eastern countries, then recopyed in the USA.

But your Tar DVD's have been sold around tournaments, but I've not bought any of them!

I don't know what you can do about it, your doing the only thing I guess, try to out them is all you can do for starters, but seems like there would be a way when you record the DVD with certain software that it can't be re-recorded.


I wish you all the best man, you guy's work hard and deserve better!
