Wow. I can\'t believe it\'s even the same picture.
I\'ve bought a Buckethead shirt off eBay before but if it had anything like one I could get here I wouldn\'t dream of buying it anywhere else.
These people really annoy me. There must be something that can be done about using that image. Will Travis have ownership/copyright on that image? >:(

Some people got a lot of nerve. I\'m not an ebayer at this point, and I don\'t know how they deal with that type of stuff or at what point they would take action.

The only things I\'ve bought Buckethead related through eBay were albums that I could not purchase through TDRS. I have NEVER bought a T-shirt off of eBay with Buckethead\'s image on it because I know that not a cent is going towards him. People are just becoming downright greedy bastards.

I certainly hope there\'s some way to combat this. This and the $200 copies of ISOT.

that shirt is absolutely ridiculous. i really don\'t get the joke, why would a buckethead fan wear a shirt that mocks him. the picture is of a kid playing an emily the strange guitar WTF.

I have filled out so many ebay copyright infringement notices my arm is going to fall off.
It\'s like wack a mole. I encourage anyone interested to download the copyright infringement notice and fax it to ebay (it needs to be faxed the first time) and report any copyright violators.
Just put Bucketheadland as the copyright holder. Perhaps numbers of reports will help.

I sell some stuff on eBay and I just reported the last T-Shirt.  However I didn\'t have to fax anything.

Maybe their policy has changed?

Alex R

^ I didn\'t fax anything either. I said the item had \'Use of copyrighted images\'

Hope this helps. ;D

Right, sorry, that\'s for the their verified copyrights holder reporting (VeRO).
Looks like you can just report anything you believe to be an infringement by way of a message through your account via this page:

I went through twice in the past week, sending all the blatantly ripped off copyright tees to ebay as violations.

The majority were from asian countries using album covers for tee shirts.

It appears to be worth the time to do this, I have noticed, they have all disappeared!

If only we could direct that business here!
