For example, A has the talent to sculpt the face with perfection, B wants a doll with that face too, but instead of paying money to A, he does the facial painting (for both A and himself) because that is his specialty. C also wants the face, and instead of paying money, he donates his electronics expertise (for A, B and himself), D knows how to punch in hair very exquisitely, and so forth. So in the end A,B,C,D,..., X,Y,Z all get their doll based off the celebrity's image while no money was exchanged at all. The celebrity finds out because X among them does not know how to keep his mouth shut. The celebrity sues, but there was no business going on in the first place. All is good?
“instead of paying money...” ugh...
Not going to happen bro... No pay... No play... that’s how it works...
It IS “all good” to commission an artist to create ANY artpiece of your desire for your own personal enjoyment... it is really that simple... artists do that all the time
Now if you pay Patrick to make you a bunch of celebrity look-alike dolls and then open a venue
where you charge people to come and admire them... well... that would be a problem!!!
As for the person “not keeping their big mouth shut...” haven’t seen too many people... as in nobody... running around and bragging to the world about their “sex doll”...
