I just was reviewing the eBay stand on copy-rights infringement and feel a good strong & continuous way to stop folks from selling all the SW from Piriform is to have them join the -VERO- program. Looks like a lot of other manufacturers, publishers, distributors...ect., are signed up.
Just a thought; however, I'm not sure how/who to forward this information to as a suggestion.
FYI:
eBay developed the Verified Rights Owner (VeRO) Program to facilitate cooperation between eBay and rights owners protecting their intellectual property rights.
Highlights of the program include:
Expeditious removal of listings reported to eBay by over 5,000 intellectual property rights owners.
Proactive monitoring and removal by eBay of listings that violate eBay policies designed to prevent the listing of infringing items on eBay.
Ability to save searches and have the results emailed to you through Favorite Searches.
Suspension of repeat offenders.
Cooperation with rights owners seeking personal information on alleged infringers.
However, because eBay cannot be an expert in your intellectual property rights in over 25,000 categories, and cannot verify that sellers have the right to sell the millions of items they post on eBay each day, we need your help in identifying listings which do not appear on their face to infringe your rights.
