Is it illegal to copy info from a website, make it into a cheap ass e-book, claim it as your own then sell it on ebay?

I thought so. Look at ebay item #1791202078
Then look at the site below. http://members.internettrash.com/drtnt/compositions.htm

I didn't buy the e book but i can already see the he copied everything word for word and claimed it as his . What an asshole, he should be shot!!

Please respond with your opinion.

MO-Maybe he owns that site.

Nope that info/website was maintained by Wouter Visser who died a couple years ago he was my cousins friend. Therefore RIPOFF!

At least there are no bids on it...hopefully he won't make any money!

If you really want to, email him and give him a nice "fuck you!" or something.

Oh sorry, do you know what he died of? Nothing in relation to our hobby I hope?

i cant find his email, any idea what it is?

i forgot the site address, but on the top it says what he died of. i cant remember though.

Here is the original Wouter page: http://huizen.dds.nl/~wfvisser/compoDB.html

Here is the ebay link:

Anyways, that sucks!

I looked into it a little, in one of his past user id's "filmweaver" He bought a Nortons Firewall. Sorry Hackers. I was otherwise going to reccomend somone who has the knowledge to hack him.

����I'd wager he's on dialup anyway. In that case the law may fall into a bit of a grey area, but legal or not it's still dishonest. I encourage everyone with an eBay account to give him lots of negative buyer feedback.

That really sucks that he died. I learned some stuff from this site: http://huizen.dds.nl/~wfvisser/indexEN.html

Doesn't look like the info was copyrighted, though. That doesn't make it right, and I politely asked him if that was where he got his info. No reply as of yet.

i still think that is disrespecting him. If he was still alive, and the guy asked him, it wouldnt be as bad, but he didnt even ask his wife, or his family.

tits do. men have boobs, but only wemon have tits. That is what i think

Technically, both have both.

thats right there are good tits (womens ones) and there are bitch tits (guys ones)which are generally not good to look at.
