This is illegal right ?

ljupco:
This guy is selling his web-site business on ebay along with my picture (the bike image). I guess this is against the rules right ? Not that I'm going to do anything about it, just wanted to know.

Thanks.

Seems like resale to me. I would contact the seller. This is a shady deal any way you look at it!

disorderly:
I wonder.  If he's selling everything on, why wouldn't that transfer the purchased license as well?  Requiring a purchaser to relicense all the imagery in all their brochures and websites and the like seems an unreasonable burden to me.

elvinstar:
It looks like you're not buying the domain name, just the code that runs the site (which includes the photo). This allows him to sell this "website" over and over.

fullvalue:
I think a lot of it would boil down to how the business and the sales are structured wouldn't it?  It it's a corporation and the corporation owns the license and the new buyer buys the corporation then the license never transferred ownership- the corporation did.
