I don't see what the big deal is myself, it's just paper, pictures and numbers.If Sthil feels so infringed upon, they could sell those IPL's for a few bucks themselves. Pirating off e-bay is wrong but you will always have bottom feeders. When you consider the size of the Sthil corp, this is really small time nit picking on their part.
If Sthil is throwing such a hissy fit, what about those calendars that are being sold on e-bay, those are usually free from the dealers if they carry them, how come they are not putting a kabosh on those , or is that different???? Still has their name on it, just like anything else they produuce.
