the bairn 11 Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I have just had a phone call from a chap telling me that someone who makes replica E27N's,DDN's etc. and sells on eBay has been lifted by the Police,can anyone confirm this as I have a few of the replica models from the seller and don't fancy being part of a fraud case!!.The models I bought came of eBay so think I should be OK.I know there are one or two people selling these models and never thought there was any problem.Would like to be enlightened if possible.

SMurF Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 As far as i'm aware you bought them in good faith so there should be no comeback on yourself If you had of known you were buying fraudulent goods at the time you are liable for aiding and abbeting I stnd to be corrected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGU Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I would of thought any enforcement of copyright would be done by trading standards? The Police may assist to prevent a breach of the peace? Still I assume this is in Scotland and the law is different there. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless of course the original moulds were stolen or something like that. Antway don't worry Davie, we will all club together and send you a file in a cake when they send you down....!
