This type of thing really annoys me especially since the little guys have no way to take on massive companies such as Paperchase, there is the option to sue but that alone costs and arm and a leg. I am glad to see that in this case the power of the little people joining together and supporting one another can hopefully make a difference. It also proves that Twitter is not just a place to share what you had for breakfast and can infact be a powerful tool for the indie community.
I'm seeing more and more of this- it's really sad. It seems like as a society our morals have slipped so far. "I didn't know" is a perfectly valid excuse to keep on doing whatever you're doing.
ReplyDeleteSimilar thaing happened to my friend and Yukky Old Tesco last Easter.
ReplyDeleteworst thing about copying image or paint or photo is it's 'trackable' and obvious!
ReplyDeletei've seen about this but not in tracing an image but it was tracing photos...doll's photos...
i'm talking about bjd doll which is more an art rather than ordinary doll, as well as the photography...
