If I sell you a Chinese Jushing doll and tell you it is a genuine Mattel Barbie, then I have sold you a fake, a forgery, and that is against US laws.haremlover wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 4:17 pm I'm very confused. There used to be a time when TDF didn't allow any company to partake of the forum selling fakes. Are BSD really selling fakes? TDF are normally very diligent.

If I sell you a Chinese Jushing doll that is an exact copy of a Barbie made without Mattels permission, then that clone is a violation of US Copyright laws.
If I sell you a Chinese Jushing doll and tell you it is a Chinese Jushing doll, even if she is blond and has big boobs and kinda looks like a Barbie, have simply sold you an inexpensive doll. Nothing illegal has happened. She may even come from the same Chinese factory that produces the Mattel doll, but as long as it is the Chinese Jushing mold, it is just a Chinese Jushing doll. Not all 12 inch dolls are "fake" Barbies.
What we have here appears to be a vendor who is selling the genuine Barbie for $50, and the genuine Jushing for $25. No deceit. Yeah they look pretty damn similar, as do all the blond haired pony tailed big boobed girls on the beach in California. No deceit unless you sell one AS the other. I have an "inpsired" doll beside me, not from the same 140a mold as the big named vendor, but similar lines to that 140a, and to the 140a that an upcoming vendor is selling for even more money than the first 140a released. They are not clones, they are all three 140a offerings at low, middle and high cost.
