That's my gripe in general as the world gets smaller. Love going somewhere and finding new foods, languages, clothing, music. etc etc. No point in vacationing if everything is the same. Even just in the USA, taking road trips is not as fun as the small towns get swallowed up. I suppose it's inevitable that this happens, I just don't like itHomogenization
Yuck!
Call me Un-American, but I miss only getting strawberries in the Summer, and friends coming back from far away places with "exotic" goods
Chincha?
There seems to be a misunderstanding. What I mean is not if the owner of Master Film knows about GW, it is whether GW is known to Koreans enough that it has a reputation etc to protect over there. Hence the issue I was talking is whether GW has certain reputation outside our circle and is known to more than a handful of people even over there.I find that hard to swallow. GW make jackets for films. GW makes mil repop jackets of the era. they make mil repops for films.
Those people would have to do some research on said jackets and for GW not to come up this day and age would shock me.
The line on the site says "Good Wear Leather Jacket Company" - not good wearing leather jackets or anything remotely believable.
Me believing that there is an unlikely chance this will effect GW in a tangible manner has nothing to do with how much I hate this ***t. Many industries have been gutted by the blatant copying/theft of American (and others, but I live here) products. Film, music, tech to name but a few. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth and it makes me angry, as is obvious.
Just like every example on the GW site, to show but a few here:personally, morally I think it is still wrong to copy names and patterns even from a defunct company...
without stating somewhere on the product it is "a replica of" and giving proper credit to the original design owner right there on the product or on a piece of paper coming with the product.
just my personal view...
"Billion dollar lawsuit avoided, and international tensions subside thanks to a phone call and The Fedora Lounge" Well done!
That is a legitimate concern but what I was thinking is if someone copied a label/trademark of another product, the purchaser buying directly from the repro co would likely know but subsequent buyers and/or bystanders will only notice the label and may therefore presume it is an original.personally, morally I think it is still wrong to copy names and patterns even from a defunct company...
