What's the big idea posting Gina's ebay store?

Thank you DisneyMagic for posting those links those were some of the ones I was talking about.

If you are comfortable with and like what you are buying on ebay that is your choice. However not everyone one can afford to fork over $600 (if you are going to spend that much why not buy photoshop???) I just wanted people to know that there are other options, and we are very helpful in whatever software programs you have whether it's gimp, photoshop or just basic paint. I have made tons of stuff for people for their scrapbooks and am willing to customize and spend my own personal time doing it for them to get it just the way they want. Someone mentioned that their DH asked can't you do this yourself and the answer is yes you can. It's really not that hard and it really doesn't take that long to make something once you learn the basics. I have written many simple instructions for people and some people have really gone to town creating really awesome stuff.

As for ebay pulling these seller's accounts that's to be seen, there have been a lot of people making Disney things and not just scrapbooking you name it and someone has violated their copyright and made it too and there have been quite a few people who have had their websites, internet stores, and ebay listings ended because of it. I had a friend who was making clocks and was using Warner Bros characters and he got a letter from them asking that he voluntarily stop selling and if he didn't then they would have to take legal action. So it does happen. So in response to the wall murals I would think that would be an infringement too but I am not a lawyer and don't play one of TV :happytv:

As for the last post you can spend your money however you want that is your choice. I just wanted people to know of the great talent we have here at Dis and that they have other options. The OP has the right to say hey i like this sellers stuff just as I have the right to say hey I like the stuff the Creative Disigns people create. People all flocked to look at the ebay store and I hope you will all flock on over to Disigns and check out those great links and maybe you will find something you like there too and maybe you won't and for someone of you I will probably be making stuff for you and I am happy to do so. By the way my turn around time is usually 2 hours during the weekdays as I get so many requests and I totally customize the graphics to whatever colors, themes, characters, fonts etc. you need as do many of my Dis friends. I am a Disney Design Addict what can I say.

I don't know how it would work with clip art.

Since the question was asked I will respond to your question I can tell you exactly how it works with Disney Clipart as I have many of the software packages Disney has put on the market.. Such as Disney Print Creations, Magic Artist, Little Mermaid, Winnie the Pooh, 101 Dalmations, Mulan, Mickey & Friends, Disney Print Creations Movie Collection, you name it I got it. Anyway every single image when you print it out has the disney copyright with it. It also states on the packaging and I quote "For personal, non-commercial and non-governmental use only. Use of Disney characters, scenes, and art images printed for any other purpose is a violation of Disney's copyright and other proprietary rights." We live in in a country that has laws protecting those rights and whether you agree with the laws or not you are entitled to your own opinion.

I think some of you guys are missing the point...people are happy with their purchases. They are happy someone else did the work, happy they didn't have to find the design, cut or do anything else but find the wonderful spot they would like the Paper piecing to go.
Why are people so upset about someone being happy about being able to buy exactly what they need or want?


can't say I've ever bought anything from gina's store myself, but it looks pretty cute. I would agree with spinning though, why all the fuss? if people are happy buying it instead of making it, what's the problem? not everyone has the time to sit down and make the stuff.

If you are happy with your purchase, that's great! I am just letting you know you can get stuff made for free as well, as many here may not have ever visited us on the Disigns board or even knew that the board existed and all the great talented artists we have here.

I think I have already explained well enough the legal issues surrounding it though and if you don't agree with the laws and Disney owning the copyright that's fine too. If you want to purchase such things as bootleg dvds, fantasy pins, or whatever and you are happy with your purchase and want to buy those items that's fine, nobody is going to stop you. Do notice that the above grapic posted has her name all over it. Why do you think that is? She doesn't anybody to copy her work, but yet is it ok to copy Disney's work and sell it? I will let you decide your own answer to that one.

Thanks to all who have sent private messages and for your personal thoughts and experiences, and especially the thank you's for the graphics that I or others have made for you. Ok off to make up 18 more items for requests that I just got.
 

Just a word of advice. If anyone here IS big fan of Gina's online shop, I suggest that you avoid talking about it too much publicly on message boards and such. What she is doing is violating copyright laws, and the more attention is drawn to what she is doing, the more likely Disney will go after them. So if they ever got wind of what she was doing and decided to pursue it she would either need to stop making them, or face legal action. And once Disney starts up with a lawsuit they don't let up. Don't think this kind of thing never happens, because it does all the time.

I agree, I understand that on the Deisign forum you can request a design image to be made, but then the person requesting it has to,copy and paste it or download it, print it, cut it out, mount it, etc. and some people do not want to do that end of it. It is just a matter of personal choice.
 
Hi everyone Gina here,
There are some things being posted on this board by a certain member. I believe this is the same person that has been harassing me now for the past 3 months. Pretty awful stuff. If it's not one way of harassing it's another, this is the new one. It's amazing that these types of people are out there. Focus on fun and family is my motto. I don't know what I would do without them and without my loyal customers :) I will not get into it like I have in the past with this person, but I wanted all of you to know that I know that these awful posts exist. I want to thank everyone for alerting me to this. A post has already been removed by this newbie for bashing my name. Those of you who know me, know the truth. Thanks again everyone and hope your all having a wonderful weekend!
 
For the record I do not know you Gina or House of Mouse or any of the other ebay sellers and have never had any dealings or contact with any of them so please don't make accusations that are simply not true. I had no knowledge that someone was harassing you and I am not that person that's not my style. What I have stated is just my concerns and it applies to all ebay sellers who sell this type and other similar stuff on ebay not just you.

If you want to buy from Gina's that is your right to do so. Gina you do make cute things and I invite you to share your talents on the Disigns boards here if you so choose we would :love: to have you join us.
 
Just wanted to let you all know that I've asked the mods that this thread be deleted or locked. I did not intend for this to turn into such a big deal.

For the record, I don't appreciate lectures on where I should be spending my $$. I know I can make those kinds of things on my own, I choose not too. I more than likely will not be heading over to the DISigns board b/c I have perceived these posts not to be just "friendly advice." Maybe that's just me. Well, some of the merging board issue.

edited to fix typo and add a few things.
