Paul Boratko Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Selling Copyright instructions Could someone please find out how I can contact this individual? Thanks guys.... Quote
robuko Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Paul, If you look at this page the seller is called van Dongen and based in Tilburg in Noord Brabant, in the Netherlands. Probably the best way is to contact Maarktplats directly. Good luck, it is sickening to see your designs being stolen. I am sure they have good English because they are Dutch On ;age=;dd=;mm=;y=;bid=0;sz=1x1;adprice=9;[attributes];city=[city];hasurl=[hasurl];make=;model=;nm=4;postcode=[postcode];price=1;province=[province];sg=999;lp=;ord=1330870600308?ad_id=!"]this page there is button in the yellow box on the right to e-mail the advertiser, which doesn't work from HK, maybe it's restricted to Europe.

DLuders Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 @ Paul B.: Here is the Maarkplatz's contact page (in Dutch and in this English translation). Off with the thief's head! Quote
Thelonious monk Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 He is from the Netherlands. I have reported him to marktplaats.nl and also sent him an email saying he should remove the ad. hope this helps, TM Quote
Paul Boratko Posted March 1, 2012 Author Posted March 1, 2012 @Dluders, the English Translation categories are still in Dutch though... I am uncertain which one to click on.... Quote
Splat Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 At the bottom right of the page, there is a link called 'In strijd met de regels' which translates to English as 'In contrary to the rules'. When you click on that, a pop up box appears. The first option is (in English) 'Prohibited or suspicious object or service'. The last option is 'Other reason' and you can fill in the reason, such as 'copyright infringement' or similar. I have also reported him for you too. Quote
Edwin Korstanje Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 @Dluders, the English Translation categories are still in Dutch though... I am uncertain which one to click on.... Best Paul, This seller is not only sell your Vampire but olso a Lamborghini Countach He is living in Tilburg onn the Gouderakstraat in the Netherlands I could give him a @mail by www.marktplaats.nl, that he is sellings copyrights off your design. Greetings Edwin Korstanje Quote
Thelonious monk Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) looks like he (or marktplaats) took it offline Edited March 1, 2012 by Thelonious monk Quote
Paul Boratko Posted March 1, 2012 Author Posted March 1, 2012 If that is a Lamborghini Countach, then it is Skyliners... I have already contacted my webmaster from Spain and he has changed up the log in info... The guy was more than likely using my site as his host... I don't care if someone builds the model and sells it, but this isn't right... looks like he (or marktplaats) took it offline I also sent a message to that website, but I have no clue if it even went through or not.

Edwin Korstanje Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 any of you fellow dutchies live in Tilburg by chance, to pay him a visit? I am dutch, but i must drive for more than 1 our to visit him. but steeling is steeling and this must stop. If that is a Lamborghini Countach, then it is Skyliners... I have already contacted my webmaster from Spain and he has changed up the log in info... The guy was more than likely using my site as his host... I don't care if someone builds the model and sells it, but this isn't right... I also sent a message to that website, but I have no clue if it even went through or not. Best Paul, The Vampire is taken off Marktplaats ,but the Countach not and i don't no who is the builder off that model. Greets Edwin Quote

Sato Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 It's Likely that the first guy will re-post his advert or make a new account and will continue to offer your building instructions for sale on marktplaats.nl There's not much that can be done against these people, They're free to make new accounts (And you/we are free to report them time and time again.) and start all over again. (This has been happening with people selling real (high value) Lego items and not delivering them for a long time now.) All you/we could effectively do is post an advert on marktplaats.nl stating these building instructions are under copyright protection and provide details on where to get them and pay the right person instead of these fraudsters.

allanp Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 OK, I wasn't sure about people selling one-off phsical models that they brought from you, but I am sure about this, and it pi**es me off! Can this topic get front paged please? Would be nice to get eurobricks wide support and awareness of these thieves. Quote
Sam42 Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 This sort of thing will always go on, we need to organise some sort of eurobricks technic secret society who go around dishing out retribution to these goons. Quote
Edwin Korstanje Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 I send the person in Tilburg a @mail that whe block all off his post if he want something to sell on any site. Quote
bb15080 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 it's a bad thing if someone is selling copyrighted instructions I have seen them before I have send him a email with a link to this topic hopefully he is wise to stop selling them Quote
Edwin Korstanje Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Best Paul, Marktplaats take all sellers offline now. i hope that they stop now and not start again with a another name. Greets Edwin Quote
