Someone is using one of my screencaps from Die andere Seite, that was posted on this website. That person must be an archivist and he is selling on ebay the original 8 mm film! These people really have no shame. They steal movies from archives, use my photos and then ask for fabulous sums of money!

What really makes me angry is that people who have access to film archives are beginning to sell them on ordinary auction websites, like ebay, instead of being well kept in the archives. For example, there is another person who is selling Dark Journey in the 16 mm version, and he asks almost $200 for the 2 reels.
www.ebay.com/itm/16mm-DARK-JOURNEY-Vivien-Leigh-pre-Gone-Wind-/320758380932?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D5%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D2724264264188331753

The problem is that I can't find out who these persons really are and I can't stop them from doing this. And I can't be sure that they are really selling copies from the original reels or it's only a scam.

I bid in a scam once and received a notice 24 hours later that I was not obligated to pay out my bid and the auction had been taken down.

Here's hoping he does not squander it.
