[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 265334, member: 4485"] True but once they've been made aware then not only morally should they remove it from sale but legally too. Saying the auction is at buyers discretion doesn't remove the sellers responsibility. Interestingly the buyer could be guilty of an offence once in possession also if they knowingly purchase a fake/counterfeit machine. Under the Trade Marks Act 1995 it is an offence to: - sell, possess, distribute or import a good, knowing that the trade mark has been falsified or removed. Penalties include up to five years imprisonment and fines of up to $99 000. Copyright Under the Copyright Act 1968 it is an offence to: - knowingly import, possess, sell, distribute or commercially deal with an infringing copy. Penalties include fines of up to $117 000 for individuals and up to $585 000 for corporations. The possible term of imprisonment is up to five years. Source: IP Australian website [/QUOTE]
