Next, you can get a copyright request underway by phone or letter.
Magazines already have them -- if y'all really wanna pop this Les Lea guy, report him to Popular Mechanics. They're still selling copies of their teardrop trailer plans. I bet they'd be interested (or their lawyers would) in his infringement on their market, eh?
Mike, IANAL but I used to work with one every day (and trust me: for a copy editor, trying to make a legible document out of microbiological contamination estimates and treatment options filtered thru an Aussie PhD, an HVAC contractor, an architect, a brand-new US PhD who had retired as a captain in a fire department, THEN a lawyer, was a daily exercise in linguistic contortions an order of magnitude beyond anything resembling fun...I'm almost relieved to have been laid off!) and I think YOU are particularly at risk to this turkey, especially with the Weekender(s) because they are unique to your site.
If you know an attorney who is conversant with this stuff where you live, get hold of same asap would be my advice ... and y'all, registering at Ebay so you can post comments about this guy is a freebie. Go to his auctions and post questions asking him why he's selling other people's copyrighted materials and whether they're being paid the royalties they deserve. You can also leave negative feedback for him JUST BECAUSE HE DID THAT!

anything that puts a hitch in his get-along will be a step towards shutting him down. Private emails to his bidders will eventually force him to start protecting their identities ... yes, it's a PITA to do this but it's what you' ll need to go thru as Ebay isn't going to do anything themselves.
