Not sure if serious? I was trying to help you make your point. I think it would be interesting to see a trial were it was being determined if a sculpt looked enough like a celebrity to convict the sculptor of "stealing" a likeness. If the jury was half as picky as some people on here the sculptor would skate free and clear.

If that idiot Spike Lee can sue Spike TV for stealing his name.... AND WIN, they don't stand a chance in hell. :lol
 
At the end of the day, it looks like recasters will keep recasting, and people who want to buy them will keep buying...but maybe the publicity will deter some folks who are on the fence from supporting recasters. That would be a win I guess. Like I said, unless there is smack down from license owners (although that hurts the sculptors and artists), nothing stops recasters from doing what they do.
 
Literally the end of the day here as it's 11:58pm and somehow we failed to stop all recasting and convince everyone a single opinion was correct.
 
Q/Trevor related threads been taken down for good a while back. As far as I know, Q has been scaming people FOREVER. He appeared to be a nice guy at first, and I thought he was a fellow Freak. He came to us (me and SilentSurfer) in 2009 or 2010 to help him with something, and it was a re-cast project. We turned down his requests. We explained to him that casting others' work and re-selling was wrong (we thought, it was his ignorance that lead to ask us to do such thing), but he never recognized the rights of others (or our rights to turn down his request) and acted as if his self-serving behaviors as permissible and totally normal. He treated us like we were the ones who were crossing the line!!! That really scared me. Ever since, he has been holding grudge against us, and has spread lies about us here on the board and to the people who have connections to the people we do work for professionally. I believe he is a very dangerous and disturbed person. It's too late for us since we've become his target. If I could go back in time, I would have done anything to avoid this guy!

Does anyone have a link to all this Q/Trevor drama? I'd like to take a glance. Wondering when Q started doing recasts. I remember buying my HT Godfather from him 2 years or so ago when I first got into 1/6.
 
The general rules here on the board as I've seen them play out for casts of any item (heads, hands, weapons, etc.) are these:

6) Unlicensed full figures can only be produced in a limited amount. Don't know if there is an actual hard number, but under 10 is usually a good number to stay at or below.

GB, I don't think this one is part of the unwritten rules (yes I know :lol)

There have been artists like Spencer who keep producing to a certain time until they deem fit to move on. I don't think anybody but the customizer can have a say in that.
