This post isnโt meant to start a conflictโitโs a reminder to ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ด๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ณ๐๐๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ.
I recently found out that my ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ด๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐ ๐ฒ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฆ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฟ๐ฎ ๐๐ผ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ ๐๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฎ design was copied and sold online without my permission. The person involved was supposed to be my reseller, but the design was ๐๐ผ๐น๐ฑ ๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐น๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ ๐น๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ than mine. I appreciate the honesty in admitting it, but I canโt hide my disappointment.
Every crafter pours ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ, ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐ into their work. Copying designs like this undermines those efforts and devalues the unique skill behind them.
