CPU World pictures on whole world auctions

[Marcin]

When I watch all polish CPU auctions I see many where are not original pictures - but with photos from cpuworld.com Sometimes I write to seller with question about law to use someone's goods Today I found best seller who copied all html code

http://cgi.ebay.com/Pentium-120MHZ_W0QQitemZ6869347636QQcategoryZ3674QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

He got AWARD for most law-breaker

EDITED : In some case that is plus because site is more popular

BTW I saw some pics from my site too. I was negative and positive surprised at same moment.

Takes all kinds dosn't it?

I wouldn't mind at all if someone uses my description.. but I do get mad when people take my pictures or someone elses pictures and use them to sell on ebay. Especially when they take pictures of other ebay items.

Yesterday i installed some new countermeasures against mass/pic downloaders on cpuphotolibrary.com . If someone with a well known downloader tries to reap pics i redirect them to http://www dot r-u-gay dot de and they start to reap that site instead...

Is that some kind of anti-leech software? What is it called?

[Marcin]

Krzysztof from http://www.cpu-museum.prv.pl/ have best anti IMAGE COPY security I ever saw. I didn't try check mass downloader but there is only one (difficult for guest) method - print screen

WoW are they ever going to be surprised when instead of pics of chips they get pics of gay fellows. I would love to see the look on their face

[nikko]

Hmm.. I remember I posted about that newer site grabbers can change their HTTP_USER_AGENT, so there is no way to prevent them by using HTTP_USER_AGENT.

The only way I can think of is to ask users to type in a number shown on a randomly displayed graphic.

I see my EPROM spec's from time to time, doesnt bother me much

Since I have several MB traffic every month from directly linked images on ebay auctions I redirect them to a gif saying "the CPU is no longer available for sale, sorry" See here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6853361579 (he later added his own pictures) or here: http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6861152587 (scroll down)
One of the sellers who did this for many auctions now still copies my description page (which is ok for me) but uses cpu-world.com images: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6867965605
