Just read the GW terms of use as I was interested. If you download from GW you are not entitled to redistribute it in any form. Hopefully he'll get a slap.

In old China, you came to the govt and they gave you a value on your product/process... if you didn't accept, then you sat on the invention... if you did... that was your pay and the invention became public domain....

P'O'd my college teacher when I promoted East over West in my research paper....

Oh, well, we're stuck with it....

Forgive me if I don't trust my government to recognize and reward the fair and true value of, say, a Blood Bowl rulebook -- especially not before it's been made available to others!

*shrug*, today's gov'ts are primarily lawyers (or uses lotsa lawyers) and I doubt the current reality is gonna change in your lifetime... therefore the statement (and this response) are inconsequential.... *shrug*

I just reported another one of his auctions.

Look at this. Make sure to read his "Top 10" list of things winning this auction gives you access to.

What an absolute crock of sh1te. That idiot is going to get his backside kicked into orbit by GW's lawyers.

Don't bother reading his ebay claims, they make snake oil sellers look honest.

At least if GW do kick his backside into orbit he will have thoroughly deserved it.

That's the stuff that bothers me, honestly. I mean, to hell with Grandma Wendy but stealing an artist's work is low.

Yeah, I know GW owns the work and not the artists, and they probably paid those painters jack-squat for their work but as an artist, I think it sucks.

I wonder if he just downloaded GW art wallpapers from the Black Library site, then printed them on photo paper for sale. Loser.
