EBay eBay has become a defendant, injustice?

EBay angry recently fell to historic lows, the market value has shrunk by $15 billion. The house is leaking, even the rain, it happened that someone can not get along with eBay eBay, one after another to put it on the dock.

In March 28th, the Danish AKTIESELSKABETAF21.NOVEMBER2001 company (hereinafter referred to as the 21 Danish company) sued eBay, eBay is the reason "ONLY" and "ONLY stores" more than 70 unauthorized "stores", and even some information with a registered trademark logo, not only provides convenience for the seller and direct infringement violation of the company form the bottom of trademark rights. For 21 days, the Danish company requires eachnet.com to immediately stop the infringement, to pay 200 thousand yuan compensation and apologize, also proposed additional eBay eBay as the third defendant.

This lawsuit is outstanding, (Hongkong) Digital Heritage Publishing Limited recently put eBay eBay to court, charged with one to 60 yuan ultra low-cost sales of pirated Sikuquanshu in eBay eBay platform, claims 500 thousand yuan compensation.

The trouble with the US and Europe, eBay eBay was beset with troubles internally and externally.

Said injustice, eBay eBay is really suffering. As a third party trading platform, users on this platform to buy what, what to sell, with a high degree of autonomy, freedom is quite high. So, Gao eachnet.com agent Shanghai Duanhe lawyer believes that eachnet.com should not bear responsibility for the sale of infringing goods, all Internet users and information are uploaded directly by the user, not the website.

Say no to natural cause, eBay ebay. For example, in mid April, netizens accused of being sold on eBay in yellow film, as long as through eachnet.com commodity search input "adult film", "adult video" and other words, will appear in these illegal obscene goods for sale. The court held that, for the purpose of profit, the use of the Internet to disseminate pornographic electronic information, this behavior has constituted the crime of spreading pornographic materials." Since eBay provides this trading platform, from the charges for profit, and provide convenience to the user's infringement, has constituted a tort."

Since the defendant's infringement in 2004, eBay has always insisted on a basic principle: users publish information, the site does not infringe. However, as a business website, must comply with the laws of China, must perform the duties of supervision. If the user in the eBay eBay trading platform violated the law, eBay eBay can not assume responsibility, then, eBay eBay to establish a "network police" and how to explain? EBay eBay since admitted that he has the responsibility to prevent fraud, then, the same can not get rid of the illegal sale of illegal goods and tort liability.

The funny thing is, eBay eBay in promoting their security how reliable, highly publicized their stop infringement "brilliant", now, they provide favorable conditions for their own sued infringement, eBay and eBay strongly defended himself, should bear the responsibility of shirk completely.

The law is not the two skins, let eBay think how on how eBay Phi Phi, the public just said, both sides just said, it is the behavior of shrew. EBay eBay is only one, that is, we must strictly guard against the occurrence of infringement, eliminate all illegal goods in online sales, once discovered, shall be immediately removed and related products, and the infringed party contact, combating illegal behavior and infringement.

Otherwise, eBay eBay's troubles are still behind.
