Re: SWOS Piracy - let's kick their a..

Hi folks!

It s no secret: we all love SWOS, our beloved game. Sure, everyone in a different way, but we love it. Sometimes I even sleep beneath my sealed SWOS 96/97! ;D

To be serious...since a few months we observe some special sellers on Ebay. This guy(s) sell COPIES incl. Editors etc since ages, and noone did anything in the past. But now it reaches dimensions we can t accept.

Take a look a href= cgi.ebay.de/AMIGA-ON-PC-SWOS-08-09-96-97...QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem here /a

Yep, you saw it right. This guy tries to sell his damn copies of our beloved game with screenshots and details about OUR site (!!!), without asking for it or sthg else. Even if he did, we would ve rejected it. In our opinion, we have to avoid this kind of relation to our site - IMMEDIATELY

So please, help us and click the link above. If you have an Ebay account, please scroll to the very bottom and click on REPORT THIS ITEM . Then please fill out Counterfeits and breach of copyright -- Bootleg and counterfeit media -- Backup software and video games


In this case, it s VERY important to avoid such listings, because they damage the reputation of our site. So please report this item, again and again! Then he won t survive very long...



And if you think that s all...no it isn t. Ok, all the following items doesn t write something about ss.de in any way, but they are copies of SWOS. And the special thing about this items is, that they are obviously from one seller, but he uses different Ebay-Nicks. The only possibility to make him banned for Ebay is, that as much as possible people report his items. Your help is needed to reach that target.

Here are all links with SWOS Copies (even Editors are included, things, where ss.de members spent a lot of time to create this for fans, not for SWOS piracy sellers)

That s it....for now. I put all those sellers to my favourite Sellers, then I will get a mail when this items are listed again. I think they won t survive very long on Ebay, when a few people (YOU!) report that items massively.

So, let s avoid that SWOS piracy, especially the first one in this post (very important)!

Thanks in advance for your help...SWOS RULEZ!
