Copyright 101: eBay Forces Tweebay to become Tweba

It didn't take long for the paranoid leaders at eBay to take down Tweebay: a Twitter auction site.

TechCrunch reported that Tweebay is now Tweba. The change is a resuilt of Paul Rawlings succumbing to the pressure from "a large corporate", obviously eBay,  threat to enforce copyright law.

Considering eBay's greedy tactics during the past six months, this news doesn't surprise me at all.

If Ebay returned the ability for sellers to leave negative feedback to buyers, they wouldn't have to feel threatened by any other competition. They must be doing very poorly, financially, now. Oh well!

This is a prime time to take all their great sellers off their site!
