Someone is selling LMMS on ebay

[digitalundernet]

I found this last night while looking for a digital recorder. It angers me to see people selling open source software in such a way. Look at this screenshot from the LMMS SF page




and the one they use



Looking at the account this isnt the only open source product they package up and sell. Here's a link to the auction listing. I wanted to bring this to the attention of the LMMS authors. http://www.ebay.com/itm/PROFESSIONAL-MU ... 0779648967

Hello and welcome!

Yeah, it's pretty awful. If you search the forum for "ebay", you'll notice this has been up before. On a larger perspective LMMS is downloaded some 10000+ times per week and how many units are sold on ebay? Not many. I don't know what you could do about it or if it would be worth it.

Ps. If you want to reach the developers you need to use the mailing list as I don't think any of them hang around the forum.

THAT/THOSE F**** IDIOT/(S)

You can apparently buy Blender too. Can't you report or rate them down? I don't have an account.

HEY WAIT! What theme is it in the video, or what video is this?

Do a quick search on YouTube for LMMS wobbles and you will find http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Kkvr2lCSa4, by SuperLinuxAudioGuru.
And who is the only one on Youtube with that exact same theme?

That's probably a bit easier to deal with. If SuperLinuxAudioGuru would protest to Youtube they'd probably take down that video.

What the Beans?!!!
I can't believe it! They actually stole SuperAudioLinuxGuru's Dub Step Wobble video.
And cropped the top of the video where the LMMS title is supposed to be located.
And changed the video authors name, and put the video author as SF Software Solutions?!
They even cleaned up the load noise, in the video too and toned it down?! "You gotta be kidding me!"
I can't believe that they even went through all of that trouble, to sell their pirated Lmms software?!
Wow! I never knew "Pirates," could be so dedicated!
Jeez! Lol!

And not only that. Those Pesky Varmin's not only stole his video, but his Dubstep Wobble Melody and made it seem, as if they came up with that Dub Step Wobble melody beat.
That's Plaguarism!!
Technically he can sue them I believe.

These guy's are really gone too far. Someones got to put a stop to this right now!!

Send SuperAudioLinuxGuru a pm and a link to this thread. He's the only one who can deal with it really.

There are those who became disappointed by PayPal as an online installments choice ever since it was bought by eBay. Many have felt the sting of lost resources, account freezes and other service difficulties that some may say rest just this side of downright fraud. Then there are the fees. For those who desire options, there's Dwolla, an online installments website that claims it does a much better job than the competition, for less cash. Use a personal finance to help pay your next PayPal payment.
