Facebook store selling stolen models

**Dabeer** · #1 01-08-2016, 03:33 PM

Found this page while looking for other card modeling communities. He's selling Uhu02's stuff and a lot of other items I know I've downloaded for free, and many more that I have no experience with but wouldn't doubt for a second that they belong to someone else.

The page name is Indy's Paper Models.

I've tried reporting the page to Facebook, but other than the option for "I think this is unauthorized use of my intellectual property" I'm not sure what can be done about it - and it's not MY intellectual property, but still... plus when you select that, it gives you choices to message the page, block the page, etc, but doesn't give any indication that it's actually been reported to Facebook. Edit: I found the form to report copyright infringement, but it looks like it has to be filled out by the copyright owner.

Anyone know what else could be done about this? I already sent a message directly to Uhu02 via the zealot forum, but haven't gotten a response in several months.

Among others, Enrico's amazing railgun is being sold, even using his photos from his own website and this forum!

Thanks for the post. He is selling one of our F-15. I already reported the page but I doubt fb will do anything.

Edit: it seems that in order to actually report him I have to fill out a form so I'll have to do it tomorrow.

Good luck, but since I didn't have any luck with someone on eBay selling plastic kits that had been stolen from me don't have much hope.

Naw, when you do that, Zathros (the forum admin), immediately pulls the thread and slaps you on the wrist for bringing it to the attention of all the users. I know this from experience.

I sent a PM, not posted a thread.

Ok, my error. Sorry

Update: My father says the F-15 looks like it is based on his design but until he examines the parts and compares them, we cannot be 100% sure. If it indeed is based on his F-15, they changed it enough for us to be powerless to do anything about it. It is still a copyright violation though. The copyrights for selling this model are shared between Emil Zarkov and Moshe Lemer.

There is a place for comments under the pictures of the models on facebook.
Post a link to the free model or the commercial model under the picture.
