eBay moves to stop pirates

March 7, 2007 Ben Camm-Jones FACT Ignorance of the law is no defence in court, so people who might be flouting copyright regulations unknowingly are being targeted by a new information campaign.

 

eBay, the popular online auction site, has teamed up with the Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT) to educate consumers on how to buy and sell DVDs safely.

 

Garreth Griffith of eBay.co.uk said: “Warning our customers of the dangers and penalties associated with the illegal trade of counterfeits, as well as educating them on how to stay safe, is vital to keeping eBay a secure place to trade.

 

“As well as warnings to buyers and sellers of counterfeits, we are providing information to better equip people to spot pirated DVDs.”

 

The guide warns that pirates could face up to 10 years in prison and an unlimited fine.

 

“We are pleased that eBay.co.uk is working with us to help identify those who use the site to pursue criminal activities," said Kieron Sharp, director general of FACT.
