I'm of the mind of an economics professor of mine with decades of experience - it's not Ebay's business to be monitoring the auctions for illegal items - they (the employees) are there to make money for their company's owners. That is, unless a law is made or the media company sues. Very few would dare sue a major vendor when the vendor provides a method to stop auctions (not all of the software is illegal). That means that there will likely be some kind of rule made for them. The company will tend to flow down the easiest path so we need to make some dams.
