It looks like the people are getting wise to how slow the eBay gears turn. They
run short time auctions. Anyways...

I was leafing through eBay today after going on a personal strike against eBay
(I know. I know. They didn't notice. It was a personal thing) and what should I
see but B5 blooper tapes for sale. 3 different auctions going on. One ended
within a few minutes, the second ends in one day, and the third ends in a
couple days. Below is the link to the third one. Or should be.

Ebay's little "If you see something you believe is a copyrighted item" or
somesuch email address doesn't seem to do more than get a letter saying,
effectively, mind your own business. So, I'm passing on the information this
way. Longer path. Probably the path that the people selling the illegal stuff
are betting on. By the time it gets through the loop, it'll be a case of fait
accompli. Ah, well.

Is there a faster path people can use when, not if, I see more? The popularity
of Babylon 5, Crusade, and likely the new series will bring out the leeches
more and more as time goes by.

Take care and stay frosty.
