[Lillycat] про бутлеги

[Suhmat]

Извините, переводить нет времени. Но тут простой английский и все в общем понятно

«Well, it looks like I have to make a statement about what is happening now.
I don't like having to speack about thing like that, as I prefer to talk about creation and all.
And for now won't make a big legal post about recast, I leave that to my attorney, because yes all my doll has a registred copyright...
As many of you know, one of my oldest mold Constantine is now being recasted.
This doll was the very first one I made for the ready to custom line, in a period of my life
when I was used to sell only artist cast dolls in limited quantities and in art gallery.
I decided to start this ready to custom line, because many customers who follow my work can't afford an artist cast what I understand very well.
Don't think it was an easy decision nor it was an easy road to take, at this moment it was more complicated than now
for an independant artist to build a doll brand.
But is was possible because of the amazing collectors community, that follow me now since years with great respect.
And I want to thank them for that. The messages I read on my facebook page are a confirmation that hopefully there are still good people in this community.
Those who think we, artist make some hudge profit by selling dolls, even in ready to custom line, have absolutely no idea
of how it really work.
We are not chinese, in europe it doesn't work the same.
To offer to my customers dolls they are happy to collect.
I had to register a company, and in France, the taxes we have to pay for running our company are just so expensive...
For exemple, when on my designer salary I pay myself 100? I have to give to the administration 40?.
Add to that the taxes, the customs fees, around 24% of customs fees on each bath of dolls I receive from my manufacturer...
The price the recaster are now selling the Constantine is under what I have to pay my manufacturer to produce each doll...
This recaster should run a legal business if he wants to make money and offer his casting service to independant artist, for sure for him, it would be way more lucrative.
How do you think the recaster can offer you prices that low ?
Because in china people are not protected like in europe.
Because probably their workers are not well protected. Worker protection has a cost you know.
So by buying recast you also send money to people who have worker making those dolls for you in bad condition, without the accurate protection, and for sure without respect of
the environment for the waste elimination.
The manufacturer I work with use protection for his workers, they have the accurate materiel to protect them and to make the doll. They also eliminate the waste the way it should be.
And their worker has 4 weeks holidays by year as the factory is closed for one month by year.
This has also a cost taht I am happy to pay, as I don't want people to be exploited to make my doll.
Now of course I will do what is necessary to, on the legal side, and I am in contact with an attorney about that.
Recast will never be ok, today it is me, Asella, and Triffony artworks. Tomorrow who ?
That is not possible.
Now on the human part, what happens make me of course very sad.
But in another way when I saw all your messages, it shows that may be our doll community is still a beautiful community.
With great people respecting the others, and I want to keep on working for those doll collectors.
I had very bad and difficult period in my life like many people and never give up. So it won't start today.
I won't stop making doll, because it is my work and my passion. Because with this brand I can give work to two very nice persons who work with me everyday, Johanna and Chloé.
And I am very proud of that, I feel useful.
But I am not sure what I will do with a doll like Poulpy, because this one is very special to me, and mean a lot of thing.
Not sure of how I can deal with seing this one being recasted one day.
So for now, her sale is suspended until I find a solution for her.
A solution that allow me to offer her for sale to my customers with limitated risk of counterfeit product.
It is not a final decision only temporary.
I won't punish my customers, for some people without respect and ethics.
I want to send a very special thanks to Nefer kane, who wrote a very kind note about that on her page.
I will never forget what you have just done for me.
Another special thanks to Grace, you are such an amazing woman, I am happy to have you as friend, and won't forget too what you have done and are still do for me.
Thank you all.»

Она все правильно пишет по поводу цен на отливку. Хотя вместо абзаца про незащищенный труд лигуЁв, я б лучше написала про то, что, собственно, представляют из себя эти чудо-фабрики. Это знатный гыг над любителями контрафактного фуфлеца

[Suhmat]

Maeglin_d, думается мне что во Франции условия труда это больной вопрос. Я помниться очень удивилась узнав почему они режут как снежинку из бумаги балеты Петипа. Оказывается рабочие сцены отказываются задерживаться поэтому нужно уложиться с таймингом до какого-то часа. Так что там где у нас три акта у них два. Почему условия труда танцоров никого не волнуют я не знаю.

[Koi_Kay]

Maeglin_d, а что они из себя представляют?

[Philippa Eilhart]

Maeglin_d,
Я видела бутлежные бошки на ибее вперемешку с какими-то частями от машины (?), и так понимаю, что это говнище льют нелегально на заводах, где есть доступ к ведру с полиуретаном.

По теме, пипец, увидела эту "новость" пару дней назад и захотелось взять что-нибудь тяжёлое. Даааа, я нетолерантна к ворам и их пособникам. Хотелось бы их вообще из сообщества выжить, чтобы не всплывали, как говно в проруби ни на клабе ни на других прощадках, кроме своего болотца =(

[Maeglin_d]

Suhmat, Не, это понятно. Тут фишка в том, что походу средний француз слабо себе представляет что такое де факто сами по себе "фабрики" бутлегеров. А это такая вкуснятина. Моя тролья душа тихо радуется, когда читаю о любимках.
Чудо кошачьего племени, если коротко и образно, то примерно ПУ-шаурма "Скушай шота у Ашота".
M.I.Y.U., технический мусор, скажем так, это самое приятное, что сыпется в ПУ. Имела несчастье наблюдать эти "заводы".)))

Напишу пожалуй чуть попозже псто и кину сюда ссылку. Думаю, будет инетерсно почитать.

Ну о**еть теперь. Допрыгались со своей скупкой бастардов, чёртовы уроды. Блин, а ведь их предупреждали, что так будет. Предупреждали же! Но зачем нам думать о завтрашнем дне, правда же? После нас хоть потоп.
Слов никаких нет, кроме нецензурных.

Увы, Рашель не понимает, что бутлегопотребителям пофигу, почему цены на оригинальных кукол высокие. Им важно только то, похож ли бутлег на оригинал и сколько стоит. А уж заплатила ли Рашель налоги и в каких условиях работали над её заказом - букет ромашек положить (

Написала таки псто про лигуЁвские "фабрики". Пожалуйста, всем, кому стало любопытно, но предупреждаю - под кат там ходить осторожно www.diary.ru/~Maeglin-d/p201030307.htm?from=las...
