momodot, I really don't want to argue with you, but most of your assumptions are legally wrong.

It doesn't matter that a product was sold publicly.  Anything to do with it right now is between the broker and the vendor.  We'll know what goes on with it when we're told by those involved, and not a moment sooner.   

I'm not saying whether or not they are handling it in a fair and responsible manner.  I'm saying that we need to give them time to do so.  In the Brick-and-mortar world, it can be weeks, even months, before a copyright allegation is made public, with consumers being none the wiser. 

An example?  There was a perfume released as merchandising for the movie, Twilight.  The bottle was a clear almost exact replica of a Nina Ricci bottle.  The only difference was a little script on the bottle, and the glass color was slightly deeper.  Other than that, they were pretty much twins.  The Twilight perfume made it to stores before they could be pulled due to infringing on Nina Ricci's designs.  And the only people who knew that their perfume was on recall were those following the story.

Now, this may not be the exact same as what's going on here.  But, we're actually pretty spoiled in this community with the knowledge we do get, and for good reason.  There are a substantial amount of people in this community who use their purchases for profit, and have a deep desire to keep everything legal.  In essence, unless you're directly involved, as in you were infringed, or the infringer, no one has any obligation to let you know that anything has happened, or even refund your money.  Every other product that's "recalled" is "tough luck", you're out the money.  

There are constructive threads at RDNA that aren't locked yet that have some information.  Like I've been saying throughout the thread, that is the better place to take your concerns.
