anyway there is not the uestion, i think that a dump impostor shall be punish by the LAW, selling free products and overwriting rights IS AN INFRACTION.

The person selling these items was not the OP. The OP was bringing this to the attention of the community, in particular the originators of the expansions that were being sold, so you have not been banned for less.

I don't see any item for sale on the link, just the ebay homepage.  What is he selling?

I'm not sure how to feel about this.  If someone wants to buy Carcassone figures, paint them and resell them, than as much as it stinks, I'm not sure there is much to say about it.  It would be ethical to at least get Joff's permission.  Selling the as Black Tower with the rules as written by Joff (though they may be translated) may present an issue though.

The person that has sold Black Tower is indeed Lemmy once again, this time under a different user name (Lamm77).

If you right click on the images of this listing, you will find that they are hosted on Lemmy's website.

Although, after the last selling phase by Lemmy (using eBay username primelntopf) he e-mailed me the following (and also made a separate public post in this thread):
"hi I removed the expansions -

I thank you for the Idea of the game - I changed your cards and the rules, but I don´t want to have trouble with you and anybody else, therefor I removed the offers. This ebay offer will be the last - and no more offers - also other expansion will appear.

my concepted expansions will be released within the next few days on carcassonnecentral."


I simply wish that he would ask my permission first before doing anything. My expansions were released for Carcassonne Central and BGG only. Black Tower is a Carcassonne Central mini-expansion. Even if he has changed the rules slightly (which he is entitled to do), the artwork used in the rules is still my work (the artwork for the pieces by Oskar Lindqvist - the White Tower piece modified by me / tiles by HiG). It does not look like my name is on the expansion rules either (at least on the front page).

I would love to see the full rule sheet to this 'schwarze Turm' (Black Tower) expansion to see if he acknowledges the proper sources. At the very least he could give an acknowledgement as to where 'his' idea came from in the first place!

You know, even with the proper acknowledgements I don't think he should be profitting on the work of others. We create these ideas and put them out here freely for the free enjoyment of others. It doesn't seem right for someone to profit from these ideas.

I'm not sure what recourse we would have.  Even if we copywrited them ourselves, it would be difficult to stop him from a different country.  I guess we can just keep trying to appeal to him.

Is it not possible to report him to eBay and get his account blocked? I know he'll just start up another one each time, but we could at least get our point across.

My assumption is that ebay must have an office in each country and this would probably have to be handled by someone in Germany.  Matt would be the obvious choice, but with the semester beginning soon, he might be unavailable.
