I was going to post this last night but wasn't sure how this would be received here. I would love to hear the lawyers of the Board talk about the chances of Tiffanys coming away with a victory here. |

It would be impossible for eBay to authenticate everything on their website. In fact I would submit that, other than any items eBay sells itself, it is impossible for eBay to authenticate any thing on eBay. I currently have for sale on eBay a old MastroNet auction catalog. There is no way eBay can determine with 100% certainty that this catalog is authentic. While the item is authentic and I received it directly from MastroNet, how is eBay to know that I haven't pasted a Xerox copy of the cover to a National Geographic? |

I've read some other articles on this case and it should prove interesting. From what I understand, they are going to being siting the Napster ruling as their basis for the claim. They say that if Napster, which was only venue for contacting people, is found liable for the illegal transfer of music, then by that same reasoning, eBay can held accountable for the transfer and sale of fake Tiffany items. Should prove to be very interesting and it makes sense to me. If Napster couldn't hide behind the "we are only a venue connecting people" then why should eBay be able to do it. |

With file sharing, the key is whether the company promotes illegal use of the software. Illegal use by the users itself is not enough. Grokster was recently shut down not due to copyright infrigment itself, but because Grokster promoted illegal file sharing. Grokster made it's money by advertising, so they liked any and all use of the software. Communications from Grokser excecutives showed that they wanted and promoted illegal use of the software as a means to make more advertsing money ... Napster was a different situation as Napster held all the music on their servers and, thus, was more responsible for illegal copying. Grokster, the company not the software, never held any files, as the software allowed direct person to person exchange. |

Tiffany has a number of different legal arguments. In my opinion, if the whole thing went to trial, Tiffany would lose the major arguments (a higher court won't force eBay to be responsible for authenticating everything on eBay), but could win one or to lesser but not insignificant arguments. If it is shown that 95 percent of the Tiffany jewelry on eBay is fake (Tiffany's contention), Tiffany would have a good argument that eBay should not be allowed to advertise itself as a source of Tiffany jewelry (which it does). |
