East Hartford man caught selling illegal copies of TV shows and movies on eBay

Never mind the man I blogged about yesterday who sold “borrowed” library materials on Craigslist, today’s news tells of an East Hartford man who illegally copied movies and TV shows and sold them on eBay. The 53-year-old man used blank DVD discs, video cassettes and other equipment to illegally record at least 55 copyrighted shows. He made more than $100,000, but now he’s facing up to five years in prison.

It all comes down to this: If you don’t own it, you can’t sell it.
