Possible Piracy of Orbiter

Looks like someone is selling Orbiter Space Flight Simulator, which you can download for free at Orbitersim.com, over at Ebay.

Ebay Item # 230128706584

I'm not sure if this is really Orbiter; but if it is, this guy is in big trouble.

There have been Shuttle and apollo simulators out for a little while, some are very accurate. With a little investment in time you can find and download them for free.
