Apparently there are people in Brazil selling CDs with WWG products.

Wow :shock:

Thanks for the tip Bewulf...Someone is about to get their ass kicked. What kind of lowball piece of $@%$ scum bag does something like this?

Oh, my...

Unless A. Denny has licensed this, or
B. The fellow is selling off his only copy, or
C. He is buying CDs from RPGNow (and losing money by doing so, if I remember the price), then no, it is most certainly illegal.

Considering there are people selling:

ArenaWorks
CaveWorks
Chunky Dungeons
SiegeWorks
Pubs & Inns
Castles & Keeps
The Maiden

(see here: [url]link edited for content [/url])

All on a single CD for R$14.00 I think we can savely assume they are not getting that from RPGNow.

Cripes. That's low and just wrong...

What really cracks me up is that the vendor who's illegally selling WWG sets has several testimonials praising his honesty. :roll:

The irony boggles my mind. :shock:

I've sent a mail off to link edited for content regarding all of the illegal products. Hopefully I'll hear something back and I hope the language barrier isnt problematic.

Can anyone find the actual vendors e-mail in that mess??? I want to talk to this guy.

MelEbbles · **Posted:** 03-05-2005, 02:33 PM

Denny, look for this link right below the product descriptions, which looks like this: "O vendedor assume total responsabilidade pela publicação do produto. Você acha que este produto é contrário às políticas do
MercadoLivre? Informe aqui. "

It says the vendor assumes total responsibility for the publishing of the product, and if the product is against the marketplace's policies, report it to them. The underlined "aqui" (here) takes you to a report page where you can notify link edited for content of products in violation of their policies. I recommend including a link to WorldWorks in the text body of the report and pointing out that you did not license the seller to redistribute your goods.

I'd do it, but my language skills aren't up to the job of composing a message from scratch. I can read it just fine, though...

link edited for content seems to be the brazilian associate of ebay, so contacting ebay might help.

I would say you could stop his sales through ebay easy enough. Then sue his ass. His profile is the following: link edited for content

Denny, I just don't know what to say, other than to offer my condolances.

That, and double check the "no kneecapping" order...

JackhammerJohn · **Posted:** 03-05-2005, 04:55 PM

We should all send email against this guy through his vendor at link edited for content

JackhammerJohn · **Posted:** 03-05-2005, 05:05 PM

One last comment in an attempt to put a sliver lining with recent events: You made the big time! You know you got a valuable product when other people want to rip you off. Congrats.

Jackhammer John pledges to only buy WWG products by legit vendors that directly make WWG profit.

At the bottom of this page link edited for content you can send him a question via their internal email. However, it looks like you have sign on an account. It's titled Perguntas ao vendedor
