[Boatanchors] Warning fake TS-530 listing on Ebay

[Revcom]

I hear about this every now and then.  Were the original pixs/description 
copywrited?  Is the
web site secured or open to all?  These question come up all the time, esp 
with music and art
work.

Local artist had to resort to "watermarking" his web pictures as were being 
pirated and sold
elsewhere.  Gets into a real problem area if it is an open site with no 
protection.
