Hmmm... Considering the use of several of my graphics... I'm not so sure I'm very fond of this...

I don't blame you one bit. I wonder if there is some way to block the sale?

You could write a mail to the seller telling him that he should take the auctions down because of the obvious reasons and that if he won't take them down, you'll inform eBay about it.

He also sold several other expansions in the past. Just check his selling history. Maybe an other option would be to buy an expansion and then give him a bad review and just write 'These expansions can be downloaded for free on carcassonnecentral.com'.  |

I'm not too happy about this. Even if he was allowed to do this, it seems the originators names of the expansions have been removed on the rule sheets.
I have contacted the seller via eBay reminding him that permission was granted to CC and BGG only for the distribution of my work. I have also asked why the authors names have been removed from the files and why he did not seek my permission before selling my work on eBay. I have also mentioned that he should remove work associated with me otherwise I will contact eBay.
edit: It seems like my 'Gallows' expansion has had its tile artwork changed, which is not the issue. As the artwork I used 'borrowed' from the official game, I can hardly complain that the artwork has been used in any shape. However, I would be most interested in the rule sheets, which seem to have been translated... but acknowledgements and names are left out.

hello carcassonne friends,
I don´t want to make any one angry about me. Therefor I think it will be better to remove all expansion which are too similar to the original (like gallows) - I changed the tile - the way of gallow in picture completly. anyway.
First I want to apologize me for the trouble and if anyone has a problem with my new version - he can write me an pn.
I removed from ebay gallows and the river to the sea.
gallows was a modified copy, and river to the sea is similar version, but with other steps of gameplay.
The offer for tradingspost are for the timber figure - (meeples) I think this will be ok - because I know many friends who don´t know where they got the meeples.....
also I removed the gallows from the complete offer package on ebay.
This weekend will be the last ebay offer of carcassonne expansion by my self.
My extension - without ideas from other expansions.... will be downloadable in the next days here in forum -
here a list of my extensions:
Hugenotten Kathetrale
Hugenotten Kloster
Großstadt
Viehzucht
königliche Weg
Markt
also the modified versions of
river to the lake
gallows (with new tiles) will be downloadable
I hope I can to smooth ruffled feathers - an I say SORRY to everyone - who took offence
Thx
Lemmy

Sorry accepted on my side, but be aware that selling those expansions on eBay, even if you invented some of them, are against the law. Hans im Glück has the copyright to it.
And actions like these are what causes problems to fan websites with publishers. Just look at how things went between Games Workshop and BoardGameGeek.
Some publishers give fans the freedom to create their own fan expansions and publish them on the www as long as they are freely available. Charging money for it however changes things.

as a sidenote to Lemmy:
You are using (modified) official artwork of the game Carcassonne.
Even if it is modified, it's still copyright infringement.
If you're lucky, Hans im Glück won't do a thing.
If you're out of luck, well ........you'll go to court ......lose a lot of money...... get a criminal record.
Is it really worth the risk ? You decide.

Even if it is modified, it's still copyright infringement. That actually depends on where you are, and .. well a lot of other different things. It is not a given outcome in any way. The "copyright discussion" is complex. |

it is not possible to stop the ebay auctions - because the auctiontime is less then 12 hours and some bitters are there. therefore i make the suggestion, I take the money to buy some carcassonne stuff and give it to a kids home. May be we are getting new fans  The pictures of validation are comming soon - thx Lemmy |
