A response to folks who tar everyone with the same brush
Here you go..... flame bait,
flame bait children,
tasty provocation served up to mindless harpies....
Gee, guilty by association for being in a costuming group..
By some folks line of reasoning, if someone in a group that you are loosely associated with does something that you did not sanction and that you did not participate in, then you are guilty too or you should quit being in the group.
So let us see......
Some members of the RPF have engaged in fraud, deception, lies, cheating, stealing, etc, etc, etc, not to mention being just general flame bait as***les.
Everyone who builds a replica of a copyrighted item for sale is guilty of copyright infringement, period, amen. Forgive me if I am wrong, I am not attorney. But I believe that this is the general reality of the situation.
This group supports the continued illegal activities of said sellers.
This group seems to delight in flaunting their illegal activities on an almost daily basis.
Groups members or associates have already been served with C&D's for work advertised, supported, and praised on the RPF.
Some RPF forum members get high and mightly and try to defend their continued illegal activites on a almost daily basis.
Let us face facts, if you are infringing on someone's copyright, you are a crook, a thief, no better that some ass**le who breaks your car window for and steals your radio.
I will admit that I too have built props, once or twice for money. I just don't pretend that it is not illegal and I know that I am choosing to break the law when I do so. It does not matter that the copyright holder is not building a similar item. So don't try to justify our actions or try pretend that what we do is morally or legally right.
