If you've reached this page from another page our website, or from a bookmarked link in your web browser, please click here to go to the new, updated page. Don't forget to update your bookmarks! eBay seller "computer_solutions_2000" listed a Cyclone pinball machine for sale on eBay on June 12, 2004 which included a copyrighted text description that was stolen from our website, verbatim (word-for-word). Click here to see the auction - eBay item #6102605578. Note how the description of this item is identical to content already existing on our website, found here. The stolen description most likely does not truthfully describe the machine being auctioned, as the description was originally authored by our company for a different Cyclone game that we sold from our shop last year. The game shown in the pictures on the auction did NOT come from our shop, as the auction description might lead you to believe. The pictures of the game shown in the auction are reported to have come from an auction a few months ago that was listed by eBay seller "fun!". It is not known if "computer_solutions_2000" and "fun!" are the same individual or not. Interested buyers should therefore be aware of the potential of fraud and deception by the seller in this particular auction. All content on our website (www.actionpinball.com) is protected under U.S. Copyright Law, and our website and it's content are registered with the U.S. Copyright Office in Washington D.C. This can be verified by contacting the U.S. Copyright Office at phone (202) 707-3000. More information on copyright law is available at: www.copyright.gov "computer_solutions_2000" did not ask for or obtain permission to copy our website content, and by having done so, has violated US federal copyright law, and more to the point, is most likely misrepresenting the item he is trying to auction. This is also known as "fraud". "computer_solutions_2000" has been reported to eBay for this violation of our copyright rights, as well as to the U.S. Copyright Office, and we expect the problem will be dealt with by the rules and laws of these organizations. Be aware that the Cyclone pinball machine that "computer_solutions_2000" is offering on eBay was not sold, reconditioned, worked on, or even played by us (Action Pinball & Amusement, LLC), as the information and links on this auction would lead you to believe. If you are interested in anything that "computer_solutions_2000" is offering on eBay, be sure to take into careful consideration this copyright violation and potential fraud issue. Buyer beware!
