Ebay To Ban Rolf Harris Art

[anotheoldgit]

Are EBAY correct in their decision?

/// Online auction house eBay is considering a ban on artwork and other items related to Rolf Harris following his conviction. ///

/// Trade of the former painter's work surged after he was found guilty of 12 counts of sexual assault on Monday. ///

/// But in a statement yesterday, the website said it may block the items. ///

/// The company said: 'eBay doesn't allow sale of offensive items on our site, including those related to criminal activity. ///

/// 'As soon as an issue comes to light, we immediately remove any listings which relate to the allegations. We continually review our policies and have considered these situations carefully. ///

/// 'We are in the process of closely reviewing the items for sale on our site that relate to Rolf Harris. We acted immediately when we learnt of the allegations and have kept this issue under continuous review.' ///

Seems strange when they are prepared to sell certain Nazi memorabilia.

Agree with all as to the nature of the paintings and fellow 'perverts'/'sinners'/ criminals and all the rest. The market will decide what Mr Harris and his boomerang art are worth. As to burning art and books, suggest any proponent of this sees the film Fahrenheit 451, based off the book by Ray Bradbury; the reason, plain and simple, that I have hoarded my books....

I won't be ditching my Rolf Harris limited editions. Nor the bright, colourful giclees by Bindi.
