The DVD Project needs some help

I'm sure I recognize a few names here. Some of you may know me from The DVD Project - http://www.thedvdproject.net Anyway, I'm extremely busy nearly all of the time and am looking for some minor assistance. Hope that's okay. I did a B&P for Mike Kebhart of Rogers, MN a couple of months ago and he liked the DVDs so much that he's now selling copies on eBay. I'm looking for a few vigilant folks who can help bring this guy down and spread the word. I've got too many things on my plate to watch myself, so I'm hoping to get some help here.

PS - I'm sorry if the mention of his name offends some people, but I'm pretty angry about the whole thing.

So, is this where we create fake ebay names and bid this thing up to thousands of dollars?

Welcome to the forum, Jesse. First of all, thanks so much for your work on the DVD Project. Your videos are amazing and I've had so much fun watching them. I got a whole batch of them from you just about a year ago. They arrived just as I finished my first semester of graduate school and it was such a treat to watch them all!

What an scumbag move by this Mike guy. I'm happy to help.

The thing is, I just did a B&P for that guy not even 2 months ago and he turns around and puts them on eBay. I've actually been thru a lot with the site. Some people in the music world aren't thrilled with the notion that I could be depriving a band of profits if they put out an official DVD. But I've always felt the opposite were true. It would create more interest in an official release.

I sent the guy a message myself and he didn't respond. All I can say is he can pat himself on the back the day I shut my site down. I'll give out his email address to everyone as goodbye gift.

This guy really is a total prick. I sent him an ebay message along the lines of "Isn't selling bootleg videos immoral and also against ebay's TOS", to which I got the following reply: "Dear philipgar,

Isn't being a total pussy violate being a man? Get a life jerkoff.

- kebs1"

Jeez, if selling the shit wasn't enough, he has to go and start insulting people who call him on this. I guess this means war. If these aren't removed soon, I might have to start creating fake accounts soon and bid up these auctions to stick him with the ebay listing fees.

If you think he insulted you, here's the response I got from him -

"Go f*ck yourself f*ggot.

kebs1"

Just thought I'd share that.
