| 624343 | 2007-12-24 12:11:00 | Has anyone else seen this scam running on trademe? People flogging a bunch of FREE software such as TVUPLAYER, Sopcast, TV Ants, TVKOO . along with various others . Calling it "satelite tv on pc" and other such names . even though Trademe terms and conditions refer to "You must not list anything that is illegal, offensive (including anything of a defamatory, pornographic, or racially or ethnically objectionable nature), stolen, or unsafe, anything which infringes copyright or other intellectual property rights" Crazy stuff people are paying $40 or more for this software! It would seem its quite fine for people to sell a bunch of FREE software that allows access to content that is mostly illegally streamed commercial channels . Intellectual property rights HUH what's that? :rolleyes: None of the sellers when asked will show screenshots of the software in action or even say who makes the software . Satellite tv on PC? perhaps they should call it what it is "Dodgy streaming tv" |

| 624348 | 2007-12-25 23:42:00 | I also noticed that ad in trademe, and after reading it, wondered why people were actually bidding on it. Struck me as totally suspect. | Nyuuji (5460) | ||

| 624351 | 2007-12-26 03:42:00 | Won't TradeMe do something about it if you bring it to their attention? Or am I just being naive? There's got to be something in their rules about misleading descriptions or misrepresentation of goods for sale.... | johcar (6283) | ||
| 624352 | 2007-12-26 05:42:00 | About time that you got rid of the Bee in your Bonnet. Nothing wrong with trying to stop a few people getting ripped off. Also you seem very defensive Peter? you wouldn't happen to be the seller of some of this type of software? |
