Even then I don’t see how it would be a problem because those cats look “realistic” whereas the Windstone ones are stylized representations. But that’s just me. If you really are worried about it email John and see what he says.
July 15, 2009 at 4:05 pm #708604Oh no, I don’t think it’s a problem, it was just an observation. Melody’s Circle of Cats has seven cats, whereas this sculpture only has six.

Sure looks like infringement to me. The seller is aware that it isn’t Windstone, but unaware that it shouldn’t be sold.
July 22, 2009 at 6:53 pm #708606LOL I got beaten to it! I get a thrill when I find an infringement. Copyright Warriors for Windstone!
July 22, 2009 at 8:28 pm #708607That’s… uummmm… interesting to say the least… i could say more, but i won’t as my mama taught me to be polite… I do wonder what the material is. It certainly has an interesting marbled effect.

I asked the seller to take it down and destroy it. It was in a collection of dragons she was liquidating for someone and had no idea where originated. Thanks for the heads up.

Is this the one you meant:

This is part of an old line that we did go after with a lawsuit, and settled in our favor. Thanks.

If you scroll down to the part that says “hacker beware” there on their logo is the Sentinal Gargoyle, is that allowed?

No, that is not fair use. They have no contact link so this will take some digging. Thanks!

Snerl in BROWN!
I like it actually
but yeah, that’s not good
July 26, 2009 at 10:06 pm #708615>_< WOW. You can't really find that image without a registered symbol OR Windstone Editions under it. Is this person that dumb or do they simply think they can get away with auto-tracing someone else's logo and selling it?

A seller used to sell them on eBay and I had notified John about them….didn’t know they were now selling them elswhere. Good catch!
