Folks Of Interest Help me find a thieving, no good, dirty bastard from Australia...

That ain't right.

 

Not likely I will get down that way anytime soon but I understand where you are coming from. Last fall I had to go out of state to burn some pirated trademarked stuff. I'll put up with way more than most give me credit for but thieving is on the list of I really don't like you very much.

I always buy direct from the source but if someone offers I'll make it right as I can for you.

 

I wonder how long it will take? The guys on here are usually pretty quick to figure this stuff out.....

 

I think they are sleeping right now.

 

There are a lot of Aussies here and I hope it doesn't turn out to be a HAMBER,Most of the Aussies I know are stand up guys! HRP

A few searches don't bring anything up. The guy may be selling more bogus stickers and be smart enough to just show up at swapmeets or shows and sell them out of a booth and disappear or just do a one shot deal.

 

not bad looking, hope you find the guy

 

Any idea exactly where in Oz it was purchased & traders name or stall name?....... email me direct on scaleautomobilia@hotkey.net.au if you want....Andyd

 

How hard is it to make stickers like that? Maybe you can track down the people that made it easier than the guy selling 'em? Sucks to be ripped off. I do like it, and if you ever start selling something like that I would be all over it!

 

Aussie HAMBERS kick ass, I bet they find this guy!

 

I'd think if it was original art work the number of guys who could do it are a bit limited and add in having the equipment to do the stickers. Not sure if it can be done via photoshop type work but that might be a possibility.

 

We have cronies down under, don't we?????

 

If HE OR SHE IS IN AUSSIE LAND THEY CANT RUN FAR................

 

"Cronies" haha, that's feckin funny.
If it was a Hamber, that'd be a damn shame.

 

Australian and NZ copyrights don't need to be registered.
A Copyright is free and automatic upon creation of the work ,so an automatic copyright exists.

Australian and NZ also recognised international copyright with trading partners [USA has trade agreements with both countries]
So there is a breech of copyright that applies here.



The problem is that you're dealing with a nation that was colonized with criminals [they idolize heroes like "Ned Kelly" and "Chopper Reid"]
But one redeeming feature is that "It takes a thief to catch a thief" , so the whole country will probably help you here

 

Don't damn the whole country because of one bad apple- everyone has their share of dirtbags. Catching the responsible party is the focus. Sooner or later someone will step up. I have faith that there are still more good guys than douche bags.

 

Not to be on the guys side but-- I've been to car shows and trade shows where people take things off display tables thinking they are free. Could this be the case before you kick someones teeth in? Just a thought.

 

HELL YEAH,,,SIC EM RYAN.we'll help all we can.

 

The sticker itself wasn't stolen, the intellectual property rights to make and sell the sticker were.

Was this an image from one of the calendars? How many got sent to Australia? Any buyers that advertize memorabilia like this? Not necessarily correlated, but could be a place to start.

 

Give us a heads up as to what State we should be hunting in.

 

I hate to say it but its kind of the sign of the times, we have sunk pretty low on personal responsibility these days . Hope you catch ,and make an example out of him.

 

Tell me about it....
I happen to work with a dirt bag... I plan on slapping him silly one of these days....

 

It can be all done with photo shop. You can make stickers with a home computer and an entry level commercial printer can probably be had for less than $500. A friend of mine is in the business and complains how cheap you can get into the business these days.

 

Take your time and do a thorough job! He'll be thanking you once he straightens out.

 

We???

A certain percentage of all individuals will have character flaws and personally disorders. Increase the population of the world, or a forum or a room for that matter and the natural and expected consequences are an increase in the number of defects.

I'm sure the Hamb will have him cornered in short order.

 

Does not surprise me, one of the dirtbag Aussie hambers stole my blower intake designs and sells them here now,
I hate thieves.
