In all fairness you had to wonder how she would expect him to react to her getting $10,000 + for something he gave away for free.

Pssshhhfffft. Wow.

Could he legally have really done anything? The seller was the owner of the item, regardless of whether he liked it or not.

lets just say he submitted a lawsuit. that would be a lot trouble to deal with for the seller that they would likely not want to face.

The album was a gift from Billy to this person. No contracts were signed.

what an asshole. filing a suit knowing the person can't afford to defend themselves so he gets what he wants by default. there is no way he'd win that suit if it actually went to court.

what's to keep one of the bidders from contacting her and giving her the money she's owed?

I was the high-bidder for several days the first time this lady put it up for auction, and was able to get her phone number and full name thru ebay. In playing middleman for pmack and her conversation, pmack and I concluded it was a real copy. She was able to answer questions about the item that are not public knowledge, and I was able to trace back her ownership story. I still have the communications with pmack saved in my private messages.

EDIT: Wait, I missed where CAIC quoted my posts on this several years back. I have nothing new to add then, but to stress is the strongest possible terms that she was able to answer in mere seconds things about the records that are simply not public knowledge.

You're right, if anything it's not hypocritical, it's... perfect. He can't not bitch about Netphoria being a big bitchfest otherwise he wouldn't be the biggest bitcher.

That suit would be chucked out unless contracts were sign or it was stolen.

this wasn't confirmed in the old thread.
it looks like you were still trying to find out if it was real, but then she stopped the auction, and, i can only assume, also stopped answering any questions. there never was a post from you or dave that said, "yep, she's got the real thing. no doubt about it."

it might be true that he wouldn't win. but the issue is still the same that it would be a pain in the butt even to respond.

but just for a moment lets just say that the fact she knows about Billy's displeased is really why she didn't end up selling it.

sure, why don't you put it that way. that sounds really good.

you took the initiative to contact the seller - nobody asked you to - and threatened her to take it down. and then she did. how many billy points do you hope you won now?

good thing that billy has loyal fans like you to look after him. otherwise this would have ended in tears. (or for you, monty: would of end in tears.)
