Don’t pay those pieces of sh*t. Send a letter telling them to go f*ck themselves.

These lawyers have nothing better to do in life, just pay them. Just think of it as a speeding ticket.

I can understand why Shwesser would give this industry organization the ok to take down fishy ebay sellers. Last time I shopped for CFA study materials on ebay, the vast majority of it was clearly pirated: like vendors selling 50 copies of Quicksheet at $5 each, vendors selling every Shwesser product all-on-1 DVD, etc. On the other hand, there is no way that an individual that is legitimately selling used textbooks should be fined. I suspect that supersadface’s auction got cancelled in a hamhanded attempt to curb piracy, rather than in an attempt to keep candidates from selling legit used books. I’ll be interested to see how this story pans out. I hope supersadface gets an apology in the end.
No way this is legit, fight the good fight!
qqqbee would never stand for this sh*t

You have to learn to pick your fights. $300 is not worth the time he’s going to spend fighting these clowns.

Not only would I not pay, but I would stop following up with their lawyers. They’re just there to harass you and hope that you’ll actually pay. I don’t think they have any real plans to take you to court – as Reggie mentioned, it’s too expensive. They are banking on you, along with others, just to pay the fine which is basically like “free money” to them.
this is so obvious… you are hopeless and in the wrong… clearly you are not too smart either since you are having such difficulty realizing your unfortunate predicament
I’d ask their lawyers if they want to buy the books for $400: $300 to pay the fine and $100 for your profit. But then again I’m the contentious type
Where’s the ACLU when you need them?
I’m sorry to hear you have had these troubles. While we are quite active in pursuing those who willfully violate our copyrights for gain, it is not, and has never been our policy or intention to try to prevent the legal resale of our study products by individual candidates who have purchased our materials. We have reached out to the firm performing copyright protection services for us and asked them to contact you directly to resolve this. While we hope that no legal seller runs into problems in this regard, it is always appropriate to contact us directly in such instances. It is, in fact, most often our honest and valued customers who alert us to the activities of those few who seem to have no regard for our rights regarding our study materials. Sincerely, Dr. Doug Van Eaton CFA Head of CFA Education Kaplan/Schweser
