I am wondering about this?
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!
John the link for the sentinel is the following: http://www.nukescripts.net/
if you look at the top right on top of the “make a donation” button you will see the words “help support Nuke scripts(tm) and Nuke SENTINEL(tm)”.
nevermind I’ll email you instaid. 😛Shoot. I know Windstone can’t talk about the cases they’re involved in, but I wonder about those winged cats. Is it really infringement, or simply independent creation? People have thought before to stick wings on cats. Is the concept of the flap cat copyrighted? If so, what about these books I read in the early 90s? They’re really charming by the way.
The earrings do look similar to Melody’s Flap Cats, but they also just look like semi-realistic winged cats. I think in cases like this you would need to prove that the artist/creator had access to Melody’s work; if not, it might be difficult to prove that this is infringement, and not just someone’s similar expression of a winged cat.
What happens in a case [maybe like this] were someone kind of “accidentally” creates a copyrighted concept, without knowledge of Windstone?

It’s not the fact that there is wings on the cat earrings….it’s the fact that they are really identical from the Windstone “Good Cat Candlelamp” sculpture that is where the problem is….you look at them and you can see straigh away that they resembles the “Good Cat Candlelamp” Windstone sideway.
The shape of the wings are identical, so is the pose.
Windstone are not saying that no you can’t have other winged cats out there, they are just saying that if it resembles a Windstone without a dought then it is not ok.
🙁 I’m not wording this right so you should read on it at this link::scratch: nevermind I can’t find the link for some reason. 😕
If I find it I’ll let you know :yes:
Did anyone not see what I have found http://shop.cafepress.com/design/31056852 other than me and a few others :shrug:

Sorry Griffinlover, I forgot to tell you that I sent it to John on your behalf.
Ah. I see what you’re saying BDW and I definitely see the resemblance. I wouldn’t be totally surprised though, if that person just came up with it and it ended up being too close to Melody’s art. I kind of draw in her rounded style too, and my wings have always looked much like hers, long before I even knew Windstone existed. (Not nearly as good though–lol.) Can’t rule out infringement, but it might have been an honest mistake too. Unless that had been settled before 🙂

ThanksHello, I was just wondering if this counts? http://cgi.ebay.com/GREEN-PEARL-DRAGON-DETAILED-AS-WINDSTONE-OOAK-SCULPT_W0QQitemZ150363853591QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2302625317&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
It describes the sculpture as “detailed as Windstone”. Is that ‘keyword spamming’?
Anyway, just trying to help!

And it looks like it was copied off of the lap dragon pose.

Good find abatos!
Not only does it closely resemble the lap dragon pose but it also has the gold accents and the similar green Windstone uses. 😡 A definite NO NO!
I’ll send it to John on your behalf with the link. 🙂abatos wrote:Hello, I was just wondering if this counts? http://cgi.ebay.com/GREEN-PEARL-DRAGON-DETAILED-AS-WINDSTONE-OOAK-SCULPT_W0QQitemZ150363853591QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2302625317&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

So detailed the backs of the wings have no details, LOL. 😆
The seller doesn’t say it is a Windstone but uses the nameWindstone
