Trademarks being sold on paysites

[dietofworms]

I'm not sure you're right, Pescado.  As just one example, the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation (or some such organiztion) pitched a hissy fit when someone attempted to "recreate" Fallingwater in sims 1.  I also recall a to-do with Disney, even though the name (trademark) wasn't used in the simminization.

That doesn't mean it's illegal, but these organizations must have felt their claims had some legitimacy.

Dude think about SimChic...that site would go down first are foremost if somebody from the legal department from all those clothing brands came around...  :roll:

What's a "Garnier", and exactly what product is being peddled? All I see a sim's hair. You can't trademark someone's hair!

While you can't trademark hair, you can certainly trademark a company name and logo, both of which are being used in the example advertisement.

...and in the end, I pause to think it's not even an original mesh. It's just a stupid recolor. They are trying to sell a recolor which one could possibly find x10 both in quality and quantity at MTS2 and Insim.

And I hate Garnier. Their products smell like someone tossed a rotten melon on your head.

Well, it'd better stay free, because it looks like they stole Garnier's copy as well.

Speaking of this Elmazzz person, can someone check if they've made this hair free? They banned me (or 'locked' my account) yesterday for pointing out they're selling a poser mesh that's freeware (available here, incidentally)

Tosspots.

It's pay.

Cuuuuuuuuuuunts.

Cuuuuuuuuuuunts.

If nothing else, you can pat yourself on the back for pointing out yet another trademark violation. And since this one is pay...

[Aquamarine]

That looks like an XMsims mesh.

Wheeeeee - let's report all the baddies!

but they banned once milla for creating sims hair basing on poser meshes.

Umm, this is news? I mean, Exnem and LyricLee have been ripping off Disney and other brands with their pay content. Winnie the Pooh dolls for sale, recolored showers from their old site is violating DC's copyright.

If I were I total cunt I'd show that to Disney. They despise copyright infringement.

I remember a few years ago when I was really into PSP, Disney was always throwing fits whenever anyone made tubes using any of their characters.  So I don't think they'd be very happy to hear about this, especially since the items are pay.
