   Hopefully this is a one-off and won't amount to what RIAA(sp?) is doing.

   It's a different situation than the media monsters. These users bought what they thought was legit software and got bunk. This is the type of action I'd expect to see as a protection to the consumer. The media monsters aren't protecting anyone, and are so blinded by greed that they don't realize that they're losing money on their endevours.

   Now it doesn't say that just the consumers are being busted it states that the sellers were caught due to the fact that the consumer was busted buying it. Whether or not the consumer new it was pirated should mean nothing seeing as how it should beEbay's responsibility to monitor it. Ebay is now supposedly monitoring every transaction then why did Microsoft catch it without trying, but it slipped right past Ebay undetected? I feel the consumer should have his/her computer scanned for more pirated software/hardware before they even think about punishing them. The sellers, however, should be punished appropriately.
