The site also contains millions of eBay member names that can be searched but I’m not sure if that come under copyright law or not as it is possible to search member for member names from Google that gives you links directly into eBay accounts. I think my best bet is to take a leaf out of eBays book which is to side step many laws here in the UK including the FSA by having eBays registered office in Luxemburg so maybe I need to look offshore myself for my service provider. Maybe it’s becoming against the law to expose fraud on eBay as the only way I can see anyone making a case is by linking to eBay pages themselves or by taking static copied of pages but it seems both are prohibited under DMCA rules and eBay certainly seems to have their way with the law here in the UK when it comes to the Birmingham police and trading standards who point blank refuse to except concrete evidence linking a fraudster to no less than eight eBay accounts being used to sell death traps as cars. What seems to have really have upset eBay was a fake login page hosted by about.ebay.com that I exposed on my site by taking a copy of the page and adding in big red text that not to used the page as it was a fake. Any advise would be appreciated before I decide how I should go about hosting the site that is dedicated to exposing multiple frauds on eBay that eBay is turning a blind eye towards.
