You're right, the copyright of the IMAGE and the text is the problem,
and thus the respective authors should be contacted about this issue.

In any case, I've reported the item to Ebay. You can't enter a
description of the problem when you report to them (yes, ebay sucks),
so they probably won't even understand.

Due to the potential importance of this matter, I think it's OK
to have it posted to bf-committers though. At least this way we
get *some* traffic ;)

Not meant to be arrogant...
