Another Ebay Issue
Posted By: Mike
Heard of a seller who was selling an autograped photo from a large photo find and lawyer for photograper is now threatening suit because photo is copyrighted and Ebay seller put image on Ebay that had authentic signature. Anybody ever heard of this type of thing? Wouldn't all online auction houses have problems with signed photos?? |

About a year ago I listed a Cal Ripken signed photo that I had him personally sign years ago. It was taken down; Cal's company is a VERO participant. |

I would just go ahead and threaten to file suit against them if they interfere with your auction again. Tabberone wins nearly every VERO case filed against her. 95% of the time, they back down. Here is a link: |

Assuming the photo itself is not unauthorized and it's not an extraordinarilly large and quality scan, I think the photographer would have a hard time winning in court. It accepted that, within reason, people can show a picture of items they are selling. |

If the photo is authorized, it is not a copyright violation. There is a specific section of the Copyright Act which states that the owner of an authorized photo/painting/etc. is entitled to show a picture of his item when advertising it for sale. |
