Re: eBAy: Captured german planes

I'm glad you posted your comment Steve. For all of its benefits, the internet has its bad side. Had this photo been reproduced in a book or magazine without proper attribution, someone would have noticed and been able to point this out to a real person. Now, anonymous persons located in various places can post and offer for sale photos that the average buyer would think are authentic. Complaints to eBay could result in a particular photo's removal and have some affect on the seller's standing. Or not. If someone thinks it's real and buys it, that seller could continue to offer more of the same. I think some mechanism for reporting or keeping track of sellers who offer repros should be put in place.


Best,
Ed
