Everyone that had has there stories of games illegally put on Ebay post here, I've been searching through Ebay for illegal cracked copies of indie games so I can report them but I can't find any, what do you search under?

Tell www.stampoutpiracy.com about it. eBay are slow to react at best, and that's after you've jumped through flaming hoops to find where to actually report it to.

I highly doubt people will want to post links of illegal copies of their own games on a public forum. I know I don't.

why not? It's on ebay no one will bid on it if they know its pirated and pay more for it, I want the link so that everyone can gang up on theses thieving theives.

new user + request for links to pirate software = suspicious.

How hard is it to enter the name of the game you wish to look up in the Ebay search field?

new user + request for links to pirate software = suspicious....with all six of his posts so far in warez threads.

Very suspect.

What amazes me is how dedicated some people are.

I've seen a few one-off spams and other bollocks like the above lately. Isn't there now a one week waiting window before posting ? If only they'd apply themselves that hard to learning a trade or something equally useful.

Be careful dissing the guy though as he might threaten to l337 #4xx0rz ur vv3b5173 :)

also im wondering how this site (http://www.mostfun.com/) is offering games for free? It seems pretty legit but its suspicious?

EDIT: ah ok its possible with ads so the affiliates are probably getting some of the profit share.

mostfun is legit, theres another thread discussing its service, a number of forum members are trialing their games there.
That ebayer is another matter, of course...
