Who is on the "HIT LIST" of this EBAY seller? Who is the victim of visual rape? Who is being literally EXPOSED without authorization or a signed model release?
Who is being degraded for profit?
Kristin Chenowith
Mena Suvari
Angie Dickinson
Laura Antonelli
Marisa Tomei
among others
According to EBAY phone support, yes, the seller known as MONX4 of Syracuse IS in violation. The seller has been in violation and warned and warned and warned.
Sellers should NOT offer sneaky invasion-of-privacy images. Fake nude images. They shouldn't be freeze-framing movie scenes looking for nude moments to take out of context and SELL.
So why is the seller STILL offering up hundreds of these items despite having had warnings and having NO signed model releases?
Er. Uh.
Ebay offers a "REPORT ITEM" hot link on every ad. Anyone who is offended by seeing a crude and illegal item, such as those below, should be able to send it to ADULT/Not allowed at all and it will be removed. But it's not.
The excuse? "We get so many reports coming in. We can't get to them all." Oh. And you take your profit off every single offensive image that gets sold because YOU don't have enough staff or enough competent staff to see and pull auctions that are obviously unacceptable.
The other reason the problem exists: Not enough women are aware that eBay has a sneaky ADULT section, that they are being preyed on, and that if they assign someone (anyone, it need not be a lawyer or a Web Sheriff being paid $100 an hour) the item will be removed.
Creepy seller MONX4 could be like several other grifters and simply sell illegal copies of ordinary movie stills and publicity photos. Nah. The seller knows that guyyyyss like DIRTY PHOTOS and Photoshop fakes. Sex sells best. Naked pictures. Abusive pictures. Demeaning and degrading pictures.
The seller even writes in every ad that should the subject in the picture discover the abuse, please DO NOT GO TO EBAY. Just contact the seller direct and the item will be removed. After all, GO TO EBAY and the seller might get that final strike that leads to permanent suspension. Here's that caveat that may have helped the seller. As in: I've INNOCENTLY abused and humiliated YOU. Just keep this between you and ME, and let me keep on abusing your friends and Hollywood colleagues so I can make money here in Syracuse.
No question about it, if Angie OR Mena OR Kristin (or any of a dozen others who could have their pictures here) sent a DMCA to eBay's VERO office (Verified Rights Owner) this seller would be deservedly KAPUT.
Fake images, sneaky telephoto invasions-of-privacy, stolen images off a computer...NO woman should be subjected to this. This is the 21st Century. This is #metoo and TIMESUP. Isn't it? Is the excuse that nobody can get to Kristin, Mena or Angie? That, at best, a manager or webmaster might get the message instead and shrug and not bother to take it further and blow the whistle on a jerk like MONX4?
Why let someone get away with this kind of dangerous and illegal activity and laugh all the way to the bank?
It's a question to ask...
Christina Ricci, Priscilla Presley, Pia Zadora, Melanie Griffith, Morgan Fairchild, Orenella Muti, Sharon Stone, Kim Novak, Linda Blair, Michelle Pfeiffer, Lucy Liu, Nancy Sinatra, and dozens and dozens of others who...
....can authorize DECENT sellers to offer photos to their fans.
....can authorize sellers to give a portion of the sales to charity and not keep it all.
....can make sure that maggots like MONX4 are OUT OF BUSINESS ENTIRELY.
