Adobe Sues Over eBay Sales

A lawsuit was filed on July 23, 2008, in the Northern District of California for copyright and trademark infringement arising from the sale of allegedly pirated software on eBay. The docket sheet is here: http://www.keepandshare.com/doc/view.php?id=712609&da=y

I cannot download the complaint itself, but will keep trying.

The Software & Information Industry Association press release on the case is here: http://www.siia.net/press/releases/mondello%20sentence%20ebay%20release%20FINALFINALFINAL%2072308.pdf

Interesting to follow these auction site cases and to see how the first sale doctrine in copyright law works as a defense and if eBay gets brought in.
