Seven Towns Infringement on eBay - All of EU

From the document: The Advocate General’s Opinion is not binding on the Court of Justice. It is the role of the Advocates
General to propose to the Court, in complete independence, a legal solution to the cases for which they are
responsible. The Judges of the Court are now beginning their deliberations in this case. Judgment will be
given at a later date.
 
Certainly a step in the right direction though as stated above nothing binding yet. If it succeeds I wonder who tells customs to stop stealing our puzzles or ebay to stop removing legit auctions. I bet Seven Towns won't.

What happens when UK customs seize packages? Do they notify the recipient / sender?

I'm awaiting a delivery where USPS is taking longer than expected. Last update:

"Your item departed a transfer airport in Heathrow, London, UNITED KINGDOM on May 22, 2016 at 11:00 am. The item is currently in transit to the destination."

1. You will get an empty package or letter saying your property has been confiscated. It will probably be a photo copy of the customs regulation violated

2. A short time later, you will receive a letter from customs telling you how to claim your property or it will be automatically forfeited in 30 days.

What loiloiloi says can obviously happen but it's by no means the norm. Usually you would not receive any package but you would receive a letter or email from customs. They would tell you why the item has been seized and give you the chance to challenge.
In my experience when parcels seem to vanish they have either been sent to the wrong location and eventually get redirected back to you or they have been lost or stolen so the tracking suddenly stops. I would suggest phoning Royal Mail since they have additional tracking info.
 
Oh, no! I am not the fastest runner in the race! What am I going to do? I could train... nah, I'll just change the rules, so that I am the only one that can run! BRILLIANT! I win by forfeit!

Congrats Seven Towns, you just made the entire cubing community hate you. Well, except for Jimmy over there, but he can only solve the 1x1. He is the equivalent of a rock, in this community.
