Manuel, just because it is on E-Bay, it is not automatically stolen, though no doubt some of it is.
I have sold Jack Wills CD's on E Bay in the past, not doing so now.
The one time I bought clipart on E-Bay, the art was totally legal, it was just pure crap. The disk was advertised as having both bitmaps and windows metafiles. The bitmaps were about 10K, suitable only for little images in letters. The metafiles were just the teeny bitmaps stored in wmf format. It wasn't even worth the $9 I paid. That company is still there selling the same junk.
So, let the buyer beware. Vic G

Hi Manual, What Victor says is right, I bought some "Clip art" on ebay , and I think it was done by a 9 year old with a dull # 2 pencil. I guess ya get what you pay for, there are some merchants on this board that sell some great stuff and stand by what they sell , check them out. Bob
