Default Ebay Legal Opinions Needed Please

Posted By: jason

I don't know if any of our legal contingent can help but I have recently been threatened with legal action after selling a lot on e-bay.

I sold an image that was published in someone else’s book but which I actually own the original. As part of the lot, I was selling both the original image and a 2nd hand copy of the book that it was published in.

I scanned the front cover of the book and included it in the lot. The guy who owns copyright of the book is now trying to invoice me 2200 euros for not getting his permission to use the image of the book when selling it on ebay.

Surly authors cannot claim money each time someone sells a 2nd hand book?

I think the problem with this guy is a bit of green envy. I purchased the original image off of the author for a reasonable amount but then sold it on for quite a bit more and now he is steamed and wants to sue me.

Does he have a leg to stand on?

Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!

Many Thanks - Jason
