Sounds like a copycat. 

There was a guy doing the same thing to Toby the bunny a while back.

Pay me or I will be forced to eat him.

But you are right, someone needs to stomp this guy hard with whatever legal
recourse is available.

Do any of our local law enforcement people want to look into this:

 <http://pdxforsale.com/?ad=169818> http://pdxforsale.com/?ad=169818

Unless this is a REALLY bad joke, the person who posted this ad is apparently
doing something immoral, unethical, inappropriate, and I would imagine also
illegal.

Quote from the user's ad: "I Will Be Putting This Cat To Sleep If I Do Not
Receive $10,000 In Donations."

There is a picture of the cat with a knife to its throat.

The user gives his PayPal address as  <mailto:swbootleg@private>
swbootleg@private  Interesting choice of email address, huh?

Sounds like a scam with the potential for animal cruelty and software piracy
mixed in there, huh?

Thanks,

Greg

PS:  I reported this to PayPal, but I thought I'd also report it via the CRIME
list to our friendly neighborhood law enforcement officers.
