Why does eBay have this policy?
eBay wants to ensure its sellers and buyers comply with all governmental laws and regulations. Since the duplication of copy-protected materials is prohibited by law, regulated, or may cause harm to eBay or its members, sellers may not list items on eBay that encourage this behavior.
