Ok, here is what I emailed them, you may use this as a template in your contacts if you would like, just put your name in the bottom instead of mine ^_^ Regarding: www.trademe.co.nz/Home-living/Bedroom/Other/auction-46728829.htmTo Whom It May Concern: A seller on your website is attempting to sell posters depicting images of a copyrighted nature. The images are of Kim Possible fan art done Richard Sirois of Lionheart Cartoon (http://pages.videotron.com/mach4/). The seller has not been given any autorizations to use said images and has infringed upon Mr. Sirois rights buy manipulating the images to remove the copyright watermarks located on each picture. Not only is this considered art theft among the fan art community, but the selling of any art with Kim Possible (who is a registered and copywritten character of the Walt Disney Corporation) is strictly prohibitted by law as an individual may not resell or gain any profit from the use of a copywritten character. This request is intended for you at TradeMe.Co.Nz to remove this listing and cancel any and all bids that may have been placed for these items. It is also requested that some form of repremand be made against the seller for attempting to sell these images without permission from the artist, and for illegaly attempting to turn a profit from selling the copywritten image. Your attention to this matter would be greatly appreaciated. Best Regards Joseph Hensley tulsadlance@sbcglobal.net -- it says the expected response time is 2 days but I hope these legal mumbo-jumbo terms have an impact.

Artists with great talents usually get their works ripped and sold for profits while the original artists, themselves didn't get anything because they only draw these as hobbies. This is just sad!
