I noticed that and also the other the Halo 2 auctions .. xboxes and games. I was wondering if someone who had won those prizes had instead decided to just turn it around on ebay

if so ... it just upsets me to the core.

Yes, that is very wrong.

Distributing the DVD's for free is fine -- no one loses money, no one gains money for others' work, and Halo2 gets free advertising.

But when people distribute the DVD's for a profit, that is very illegal, and even says so on the DVD's themselves. I reccomend that we report these auctions to Microsoft and eBay, as they are all illegal.

To help report these listings:

Go to:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/contact_inline/report_listing.html

Choose:
1) Report a listing policy violation or prohibited (banned) item
2) Prohibited (banned) items
3) Violated copyrights/trademarks or sold a counterfeit item

Click email near the bottom of the page.
(You will have to log in.)

In the box asking for item numbers, put these in (please don't submit the same numbers twice):
8144468390 , 8144511054 , ~~6337818349~~

8144597709 , 6337955080
--Added: 12:00 AM CST Nov. 6, 2004--
8144699775

I will keep that list updated as best I can.

Thanks for helping protect Halo Smile

I say report them. If they went and got the stuff, and all they want to do is make money that makes me mad. I wish so much I could have gotten the DVD. I'm still hoping for Dana to send me one. But for someone to be selling them, that's just wrong, and illegal. Evil or Very Mad

At the event, the PM's encouraged us to share the DVD with our friends. After the event, I asked a PM explicitly if he intended for us to copy and to distribute the DVD freely. He told me "Yes". The DVD is to generate interest in Halo 2. Halo 2 makes Microsoft lots of money, so Microsoft grants you the right to copy this work freely, so long as you don't try to make money on it. Look for it on a bittorrent near you, soon.

I also e-mailed some of the bidders letting them know this was a free disc and to try e-mailing Dana for a copy.

>< Some people would do anything to make a buck.
