I've contacted E-Bay customer support with the following message. I encourage all faithful users of Orbiter to do the
same...

I am contacting you on behalf of Dr. Martin Schwieger at
www.orbitersim.com who is the intelectual property owner of
Orbiter Space Flight Simulator 2006.
Recently the user "tcbteam" listed items 180099105849 and 180098106114 under the title "Brand New
_VisionQuest_SPACE FLIGHT SIMULATOR 2007!!!!"
If you examine the screen-shots provided by tcbteam in the above listings you will find they are identical to screen
shots found at
www.orbitersim.comThe software being distributed under the title "Vision Quest Space Flight Simulator 2007" is an illegal redistribution
of "Orbiter Space Flight Simulator" copywrite 2000-2006 by Dr. Martin Schweiger. Martin can be contacted at
martins@mephys.ucl.ac.uk:End
The voice of a single small copywrite owner may go unheard, and the fees of hiring a lawyer may go unreturned... but
the voices of many legal users of this great free software will make the operators of E-Bay take notice. So, I
encourage you all to contact E-Bay with a similar report by going to
