Well, no. A copyright violation has taken place whether or not the copyright
owner complains, but the guy's not going to get in *trouble* unless they
do. Of course, if they tried to take him to court, they can only really
claim actual damages, and since the only thing Pentax is losing is downloads
from their web site (which are free) and he's only charging 8-9 dollars
per disc it probably isn't worth the time :-) Pentax could probably get
him booted of eBay but I don't know why they would. He's clearly not doing
this for profit; even if he's shipping 1st class mail he's only making 6-7
bucks per disc. Given the time involved, he's probably making about minimum
wage. Seems like no biggie to me.
