"The unauthorized reproduction or distribution of a copyrighted work is illegal. Criminal copyright infringement, including infringement without monetary gain, is investigated by the FBI and is punishable by fines and federal imprisonment."
But yes, there are companies "who just send a message to take off the listing or straight reports to ebay so listing gets taken out"
