Has anyone noticed the Generic Benroy plans for sale on Ebay?
Someone is selling plans down loaded from this website. I don't know
if he has Mikes permission but it just seems wrong to me.

unless you're willing to legally protect your work it's the least you can expect.

:thumbsup: Now see the more we spread the word the less these thieves will make........ 8) I believe the Generic Benroy was developed to give people a free choice. :thumbsup:

Besides lots of people will google and find us. :twisted:

There was a way to ask the seller questions that would show up in the listing. Just don't remember how. Maybe someone else does. A simple question like " are these the same plans you can get for FREE at www.mikenchell.com? or are they your own designs and work?

Or we could just all ask him the same question in the ask a seller this question and let him know there are lots of people that know he is a thief!

If you are a registered e-bay user you can go to that link and submit a report about what he's doing. I've just done that. If enough of us do it, maybe e-bay will make him pull them.

Cheers

You could setup an auction with the info for 1 cent and email them a link here.

Not sure what the smallest amount pay pal will transfer.

At the very least the seller is using pictures with Mike's copyright notice on them.

If you look to see their 'other items' everything they have listed appears to be works of others where the copyright has expired - a cheesy way to try to make a buck if you ask me.
