Yes, I agree and understand your point.  The person who originally 
posted appeared to think that this was legal which is not - even if it 
does happen in the real world.

That is a shame.  Here you are doing something that benefits many 
people who cannot afford or justify to pay for the good commercial libs 
and people taking advantage of your generosity.  All it does is make 
people who are as generous as yourself not want to do it in the future.

where it is possible to take advantage of someone, there will always be 
someone willing to do it.  Sad, indeed. :-(

p.s. - I hope that it is worth your while to go after these guys or 
that you are at least able to stop them when you find these auctions.
