PBS	Tunecore tend to not update account info unless the various stores send them data. It would be less frustrating for some artists if they at least put a message saying that "no sales have been recorded for this month" rather than just putting nothing. However, that is the way Tunecore operate at the moment. I think they have plans to alter things in the future, once they've worked out the best way.
The Cat	I think that statement covers just about everything. The big question is whether Ebay will take any notice. These large corporations tend to have so much money and legal muscle that they feel safe from any actions taken by an individual. I'll be surprised if they don't just ignore it and possibly suspend you for life for having the audacity to challenge them. That said, I hope you're succesful. It does look as though ebay are about to cancel all their listings for digital downloads. It's a pity, as this will be a major form of future trading and they may be cutting themselves out of a mass market. Of course, anybody can copy and sell digital music illegally, but anyone can steal a CD or necklace and sell it illegally. I think ebay is showing signs of new technology phobia.
PBS	For those interested in such matters. The legal statement re. this case can be found here. http://paulboonstewart.tripod.com/id2.html
Mart	I think the way to use Ebay, is stick a few copies on and see if a distributor buys them, well worth a go in this climate. It hardly matters about sales sadly at the moment, but appearance is vital.
steveimp	eBay are about to stop people from auctioning electronic downloads soon as well, it's another thing that they are paranoid about. Ah well, at least via eBay I got hold of an Entertainment USA vid!
