eBay auction of temple garments stopped

• Cheap Laughs

EBay spokesman Hani Durzy said Friday that the Web site removed a listing for the undergarments, which are only to be worn by authorized LDS members, because it contained text for which an LDS Web site holds copyrights.

Copyright takes LDS garment listing off eBay

See, I thought religions were tax exempt, and not in it for the money. Then one finds out they have copyrights which serve the sole purpose of protecting commercial interest of intellectual works. That makes so little sense.

Thank you so much for taking off the auction of our sacred garments. Nobody, unless they are authorized Latter-Day-Saints, should be able to buy these precious garments. If anyone ever tries to sell any more of their garments through ebay, please DO NOT let them. They have absolutely NO right to sell them to anyone else.

I appreciate the removal of temple garments from the auction. Anyone who understanding the garments even minimally knows that any attempt to treat them as commercial goods in this fashion is demeaning to those who hold their meaning and purposes sacred. It With respect to the statement about copyright, copyright is not solely about commercial interests. It is about protecting the integrity of original or creative works. In this situation, it would be applied to protect sacred emblems. It is not about money.

Just checked the ebay site. They are still listed. Where did your information come from??

Garments are no longer sold on Ebay. If you read the descriptions of the products, you will see what is actually being sold.

Some have suggested that Mormons wear 'Magic Underwear', well the magic doesn't work unless the wearer is faithful to covenants and keeps the commandments. I know, I am a Mormon and my Temple Garments are very Holey, if you get my dirft!

I find this to be very disrespectful to what I believe in who ever is selling these sacred garments should be ashamed. These sacred garments has very special meaning for me and other members of the LDs community. I would appreciate it that who ever is incharge of advertising things on the ebay site to please stop selling these sacred garments on ebay.

Hi! thank you for removing the sale of holy mormon temple garments off your site- since then my doctor husband and I are buying lots of fun things on e-bay like 6 watches! we have been happy with your services and the merchandise is wonderful. You guys dont have to ever stoop that low again, you offer wonderful items--the antimormons were just trying to mock us, as the antisemetics mocked my jewish ansestors. (Im a convert from NYC to mormonism) we appreciate you and you will be blessed for your efforts, sincerely, kittywaymo and dr. patch adams (aliases) he is a doctor though, a ob-gyn!

My husband and I are converts (5 years)I was Baptist and the daughter of a great southern baptist minister. We are over sixty years old and believe our garments are sacred and remind us of the covenants we have made to God. Thank you for respecting our faith and helping us avoid the mockery that occurs by selling them to those who do not understand. You and your business will be blessed. Thank you Sandy and Bob.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about eBay auction of temple garments stopped. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
