did you ever notice the only people who claim VERO are former actors
who haven't worked in years???
you know, like the people who sign autographs at the (formerly) Ray
Courts Show in Hollywood....

This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen and a total
misunderstanding of intellectual property law and copyright. The
poster you listed was a promotional poster for a film in which Mara
Corday assigned perpetual promotional rights to the producing movie
company. By selling the poster publicly you are not infringing on
any intellectual property rights, anymore than selling a Larry
Rivers signed poster on Ebay is infringing on Larry Rivers'
rights. Ebay like Amazon just doesn't want to have to defend any
lawsuits, so it is taking the easy way out and just deleting your listing.
