The site is down (well, they just have one page about how the site is hosed) so I couldn't tell what affiliation he had.

I went and played busybody.

Sure, none of it was mine, but come on, this auction was total BS and we all know it...

Dear sir; I know that selling these items does not seem like that big of a deal to you, but I worked on several on these products, and know that they were not released legally on PDF. I'd like it if you took this down for a few reasons. 1: They weren't released legally in PDF form 2: By releasing those hardback books in PDF like this, you're hurting me and some of my friends. 3: I don't want to see anyone get in trouble. Please remove it. I know you just want your money back, but I doubt you'll get it like this. I will let you know something you may not know. If you are that dissatisfied with the PDF and print products, you can contact a lot of the publishers and many of them might be willing to refund your money. Please remove this auction. -T Willard Freelance RPG Author"

Someone mentioned FBI. They usually just go after the source, that is the guys who scan the books, rip the music or package the movies. Example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_D-Elite http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Fastlink http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Buccaneer
