I think what he is saying is that there are thousands of items on ebay that technically are infringement, but no one seems to care or bother with stopping it. It's usually "harmless" in most cases. You always see it on t-shirts, clocks, magnets, etc.
People arent necessarily buying that CP for the art, more for the controls. That said, I still would be careful if I we're him. Or consider an original CP overlay.
