alert- ebay member "orienblack" is selling thecoverproject covers for $15 a pop!

Honestly, my problem isn't so much that he's selling this stuff, it's that he's passing it off as his own.

So I thought it would be a great idea to make a case for it. Now I never guess where Wii Sports has disappeared off to. This case looks like a store bought game. And now you too can enjoy having Wii Sports in a custom case that looks and feels like the real deal.

If he was at least being courteous enough to link to our site and provide the printed and already cased games as a service, I'd have no problem.

another guy is selling covers from our site (even found my Silent Hill covers). I didn't report him or anything, just sent a message:

Hi, I'm from http://www.thecoverproject.net/
Website sound familiar?
I personally made a few of those DVD covers you're selling. If you're going to sell materials taken from our website, could you at least credit us and give a link to our site in your auctions?

I know the common response here is to demand they stop selling, but honestly I'd just like to see us credited. If individual buyers still want to buy from this guy instead of doing it themselves using covers taken from here, that's their choice.
Anyhow, I'll post any followups, if he's respectful I say we leave him alone. If not... well there's always that report button.
UPDATE he was very friendly and cooperative and agreed to link to our site :)

Thats all that needs to be done. If they wanna be asses, then take that next step.

When I checked this link when you initially posted it, one of those 4 WAS one of this seller's items. He said to give him until the end of the day, so I'm not worried.
