Joe Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Also digging around, Ghamak doesn't have a great reputation? So far I've seen; caught stealing and re-selling some of The Maker's Cults' old Knight-Titan models, with new armour sculpted over the top. alleging he had no response from Games Workshop at first, then that they didn't respond to his letter for nearly a year; whilst other creators have highlighted the company is generally extremely responsive once you've gotten in touch via legal representation. I'm not certain I'd trust anything out of Ghamak after the first point. But allegedly being DMCA'ed, choosing to ignore it, and then uploading near 1-to-1 copies of another companies product after the fact is... really stupid? Yeah, none of this is passing the sniff test in the slightest.

SvenIronhand Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Legally? Some of that stuff might be ruled illegal. That said, that’s the thing with jurisprudence — the dirty little secret lawyers don’t like to tell you. It’s all informed interpretation at the end of the day. I don’t care about IP morally, and I think a lot of people agree. It’s a stifling concept that chokes the life out of everything from culture to academic and scientific pursuits at universities and in industry. Obviously, people should be fairly compensated for their labor, but do they have the right to profit (these are not the same thing) off it in perpetua? I’m not sure, myself. I don’t like the stuff he does, if I’m to give my personal opinion. Straight proxies aren’t my thing. I’m a big Greytide/Trollet enjoyer. Those cats have their own distinctive, inimitable styles that really add character to the sculpts. That said, I think Ghamak has the right to produce this stuff.

You quite regularly assert your opinion as fact and then hand wave and whataboutism if you're wrong. By all accounts you still believe GW internalised the tarriffs and the price rise was entirely regular and unrelated to a recent large global impact on their profit margin per sale. 1 minute ago, caladancid said: But see that’s the thing.

All we can do is go on the information we have now, which doesn’t make it reasonable to come into the thread and make up what you believe (with just as much evidence) is the real basis. From what I have seen, the only actual evidence provided in the thread are screenshots of the minis being sold; evidence of the defendants activity in the marketplace. The defendant has asserted that they are being sued. Evidence of the lawsuit or content therein has not been provided. Any opinions from either side of the debate are 'what you believe". If you feel it is worthy of support and financial contribution, fair enough. However, not everyone will share your opinion (based on the information and evidence provided so far) and unless a moderator disagrees, are able to express their opinion in the thread.

Inquisitor lorr Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago The mental gymnastics on display here to find ways to decry GW (on a forum for GW games) for this approach is honestly hilarious. Whether Ghamak is strictly ‘infringing copyright’ (or however else you want to frame it, which largely varies by jurisdiction) is one issue. But no-one in their right mind can say with a straight face that he is not deliberately creating models which very closely mimic equivalent models which GW make. He very clearly would have no market or customers if GW did not exist. It’s not like these are standalone products which some imaginative customers have chosen to use as proxies. They are made with that sole intention in mind. He is therefore entirely dependent on GW’s game systems, customer base and standing in the market. Putting aside the legal position for now, why shouldn’t GW reasonably take umbrage at that? The ‘unfair competition’ allegations are probably a relatively novel attempt to challenge what could be seen as a ‘passing off’ type argument - I.e. creating products designed to leverage the goodwill of another company. Good move for GW or not, I can’t say I have any sympathy at all for Ghamak and wouldn’t ever even contemplate funding his defence.

He's not making models for personal use to use in their games, he is selling 1:1 replacement products of GW kits depicting characters strongly reminiscent of GW designs. I dunno, I don't like what he does, I don't think he should do it, that its unworthy and unwise to go down this path. That's not saying I think people should be legally forbidden allowed to do it... There might be a world where the designs become creatively distinct enough that it becomes okay.
