Precisely. But you need to take them down whoever points them out, not insist on it being someone with "properly constituted authority", which was eBay's approach. The way it worked with eBay, by the time you'd jumped through all the hoops they put in your way, the auction was over. I speak from personal experience, as a software author who's frequently seen his software illegally copied and sold on eBay.
