eBay Sues Operator Of eBaytoo.com
from the seems-a-bit-obvious dept
You would think that any sane lawyer would suggest to the guy running "eBaytoo.com" that it might elicit a negative reaction from eBay. The extent of this negative reaction might even be made worse when you were basically trying to copy everything about eBay by setting up your own auction site. So, it should be a surprise to no one that eBay is suing wannabe online auctioneer eBaytoo.com. The site of eBaytoo.com seems down right now, and the internet archive draws a blank, but Google's cache shows a site that looks strikingly similar to eBay (though without any actual auctions).
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
