[EXPOSED] Selling XDA code on eBay? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

eBay: Unlock your Cingular 8525 Works on all bootloaders
Seller is quite obviously an XDA member.
EDIT: Guessing this is "public domain" stuff from XDA, too...

Man, that member's website is dodgy! LOL

I think the thing i like best about his website is this:
Special Discounts for Teachers & Military, Firemen & Police, Rabbis & Ministers*
But then it gets better.. at the bottom of the page it states this:
* In this offer, the word "Ministers" should only be considered as referring to Christian Ministers. This offer decidedly does not extend to Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses or Muslim.
http://www.landjtech.com/special.html
..............
aint nothing better than close minded racist people.. the only thing missing from his website is the rebel flag... lol

...
Ironically, he offers the following "defense":
Do you know why you can reprint the King James Bible for sale, all day long, in all fifty states and most foreign countries? Because it is in Public Domain. All you have to do to be able to LEGALLY profit from it is to get a copy, make a copy and sell a copy.

This just PISSES me off!
He shows no respect towards the developers who worked hard on these programs!

OMFG!!!! This is too pathetic to be true !!!!!
Where is my flamethrower !?

did anyone notice the email, phone number and home address on the resume posted on his website? ;-) I wonder if he'd appreciate jehova, mormon and muslim spam posted to him ?

The website reminds me of the sites online in the mid 90's with flashing gifs e.t.c

In all fairness (I didn't look at his website) what you quoted isn't racism. It's bigotry, no doubt, but I don't see anything specific to race.
Anyway, what a tool. You can tell his plan was well thought out.

This claim is made
Please Note
The software used to unlock the phone is Copyright to ICB NetSoultions, and is freely available from their web site. I do not provide this software directly. What you are buying is Help and Technical support to enable you to unlock your phone to enable you to use any sim card.
Notice to Ebay
According to ICB NetSolutions' terms and conditions I have advised them of this listing. I am not suppling any of their products directly. The statement below is from their terms and conditions:
"Inetmedia solutions data products may also be included in a 'kit' or other such promotion - in that case, written notification should be given at the email address provided above and copyright statements included on any repackaging of the product"

Is any of this correct...
The reason I ask, and ok, I did fall for it, before I knew a bit more about the unlocker from this site.. I thought it was an alternative method, and it was v3 of the very same software!!!
Some advice would be appreciated......

The king james bible IS NOT signed by a publisher or author, which is WHY it can be redistributed.. however, software contains signatures by the developer.

Inetmediasolutions is a dodgy VERO holder - see here:
http://www.auctionbites.com/forum/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=6493168&highlight=&sid=548597d561b59177b0e4fbc910481bf5#6493168
It seems someonelse tied together a lot of unlockers and made them freely available. So the question is - did this guy pinch from us or him? In the end of course the development originated here.
Go ahead and report it to e-bay folks.

Exactly, I do also. I busted a guy trying to do the same thing on craigslist a few months ago and he stopped.
I think this guy went to the Helen Keller school for web design.

if that company has it copyrighted and you can prove that you created it first you have a law suite. i dont know how microsoft or htc would react.

HTC / Microsoft won't do anything and if they really do, the would go after XDA first that's because the program is developed by XDA.

Have some shame... this is no better than theft. How would you feel if your lawful earning was being "borrowed" by someone in this manner? Developers also have themselves and their families to support...
You can download the crack from here

Oh my god. DO NOT POST LINKS FROM THAT SITE...
That site does NOTHING in reporting or journalism. They make **** up and get the first link on Google to get traffic. They have zero reputable stories. Do not go to or believe anything from them. Period.
/end rant.
When you can no longer innovate sue for royalties. Consumers would be far better off with the european software patent system as opposed to the abortion we have now.

I'm not saying that specific story is fake, but they exagerate EVERYTHING, and downright lie at others... Will HTC start paying to use Android, yes.. Is it going "skyrocket the price of the Evo"? No, don't be stupid. They create headline to draw in traffic...
i was at bestbuy today the phone manager told me it would cost $200 with data contract

Effin Scammers!!!!

Look at this guy trying to make a buck off the dev's hard work!! 50 bucks a phone!!! Hes offering his "skill and time" to "make a living"!!!

you should totally report him saying something about the fact that its ILLEGAL to profit off of freeware such as android and the like
How low can you go...........
Jeez,what can we do about it?
There's already a thread for this...
Lol....everyone should spam him with texts. If running android use sms bomber.
Mod close this thread please as its already up,don't need another.

Look at this:

It looks like he has the stock rom too, so it'll probably have robot voice problems. So he's basically getting $100+ more for putting files on an SD card.

really? I'd like for you to show me the law where such a thing is mentioned.
I'm not defending the guy, but i hate seeing people talk law w/o a clue.
Android is not freeware. under the Apache license, android can be redistributed for profit, even the gpl parts (kernel, webkit) can be sold as a completed work given that you provide the buyer the source for the affected parts (source that was gpl and it's derivative works).
it'sthe reason htc can claim copyright infringement on people posting ports of their builds but still have to release kernel sources.
besides, this guy is selling a service, not source. if the makers of haret made a provision that it can't be included in such a service then they could sue, until then, this is something that is sleazy, but legal.

I would not be surprised at all if the people profitting from these android OS is a user somewhere on this XDA forum. Youtube will pretty much teach people hwo to do this, gosh they are silly willing to spend 50 on a few minute job.

Whats wrong with that?
He is selling his phone with a few extra bits and peices. At least he is upfront about what it is and where it comes from.
The bloke on Craigslist is selling his time to put the files on the SD card, big deal. Some people don't know how to do it so he is filling the hole.

This Sickens Me - Selling Android Builds on eBay

This is a disgrace. Anyone who exploits the hard work and unwaged development of Android/Linux on the Hd2 should know that you are only doing the community harm by discouraging devs to continue progress. You basically stole their knowledge and are hawking it off as yours. Disguisting.
This isn't the first time this had happened. Its hapoened like 5 other times thati know of. Yeah your right its messed up.
I wish there was a way to reply to his auction and scream "FRAUD!".. or give the seller negative feedback over and over again.
Damn... why didnt I think of doing that and making money... lol
Just kidding... Yeah the guy selling instructions is an asshole for sure
THUMBS DOWN!
have a look at craigslist.

I just filed a report against the item as being copyright infringement.
What an idiot, he got that picture from XDA too. I think its from mattc?
i've filed a report as well. What a low life scumbag. Wish we knew his handle on XDA so he can be banned for life.
he should send to death sentence!
ive reported it as well.
i think the best way to fix this is for everyone to file a simple report of violation of android GPL. and intellectual property.
if ebay gets enough reports of similar auctions, it will go on their banned list. unless you can prove you programmed it.
Damn why didn't I charge my friends for spending 3 hours on installing android onto their phones.
Report submitted.
Yah. I think everybody should report this..I just reported too!!!
This kind of person should be banned from xda forever!!!
Sometimes you learn more form the seller when you're in contact with him.
maybe his mailaddress is a part of his account on XDA so you'll be able to track him down.
Stay in contact as long as you can, that way you will gather more information.
This is indeed a dis-craze to all hard working developers, accept when the seller is one of the developers hare at XDA...
to all developers, don't stop because of some stupid ass, your work is really appreciated!

I don't know if it's a coincedence, but there's a user here at XDA that has the EXACT same name as the e-Bay seller.
Link to his profile is: mv1luv
I think it's time to get the mods onto this
Grtz,
Degake
p.s. The hometown of the XDA member (Bakersfield) is also the same at the e-Bay item location.... so I guess we got him

Time for the Mod's to get involved and sort this matter out, reported it to e-bay but they aren't really going to do anything which is sad, but the mods here can!
Unbelievable! Just out of curiosity I did a search for "HTC HD2 Android" on eBay and there are several other no-conscience sellers peddling instructions on how to install Android. Outrageous! One seller "alpleco" out of Long Island has sold over 600+ of these instructions at almost $2 each.
There's just no shame!

Interesting : PAYG XTC Clip :)

What I'd like to see next is a PAYG system without the need for any hardware, just over the net.
Awesome! I will definitely use their service!
Very interesting.
Interesting but it will certainly be cracked soon and they'll loose money ^^
That's my point
My mistake x) thought it was a paid software !
this would probably become another paid hardware solution which is more likely to be used over the general unlimited credit xtc clip.
nice, i will def order one!
I am going to buy this.
so will I, great news.

A 'One Time Use' XTC Clip, to put it bluntly.
The only drawback I see is when it has to be shipped from hong kong all the way to belgium. Clip + shipping costs + credit costs will still be to much for me, I suppose.
Does anyone know if that clip can be used for other devices as well?
Erwin
don't worry there will be distributors in europe as well especially around the german, netherland, belgium border

it's fizically not possible without hardware to offer a permanent S-OFF solution, at least not in this moment.
and also don't forget, it's a gold card creator as well. plug in the micro sd, choose device you want make a goldcard for, press "create goldcard" and 10 seconds later, you're done.
this package will include all the cables etc needed right?
Hey Raskal, Thanks for bringing us this solution, Theres noone near me in Belgium that has this device.
Hello,
before release i would like to test the firmware and the credit system, for this purpose i would like to give 10 clips away for free. I will ship them at monday with fedex, but without housing
