eBay man Jailed.

The BBC has reported that a man who continually sold pirated books and ebooks throughout the of eBay is now sitting behind bars after being sentenced for 21 months.

The Derbyshire bloke cashed in on £85,000 selling illegal copies of audiobooks and he used over 35 different eBay IDs for around 5 years. The ebooks names included the classic Lemony Snicket series, the epic and curriculum run Lord Of The Rings plus the Narnia Chronicles, when the judge made his sentencing he said the sales had caused over a million pounds worth of damages to the legal companies who sell this and copyright owners.

The prosecution announced in the trial that the 1st six harry potter books could have been bought from this eBay pirate for around £6.50 but if you were to buy these at a normal retail cost it would have been over £300.

O well here’s to a cleaner eBay.
