In the market, we can see many goods that are pirated. It is obvious stealing behavior.
I'm studing design in University. So I know how difficult think the new ideas. Duplication is easy, but think new thing is very difficult. It may be more difficult than you think.
Pirating is obvious stealing behavior. It hurt designers' copyright. This behavior that copy others' design will make people who designed original product knock down, and there are possible that they give up think creative things. If these steal behavior is continue, many people who design a new and creative idea in the past don't want to think the new ideas. They maybe want to copy others, too! This is a very big problem!!!
Government have to establish strong regulation.
Also,It is important to keep in mind that copy is crime.
On the oter hand, Anytime, there is the trend and fad. One thing lead trend, many others follw them. Copy is illegal, but I think follow fad is okay. however, Standard that distinguish betweed copy and follw trend is subjective, It is hard to say.
Actually, I haven't behaviored perfect fit from my opinion. My consumption pattern is different depend on type of products.
In case about chandlery like bags, wallet, and so on, I don't buy the copycat goods.
Some people who want to have luxury brand product but have no money use to buy imitation.
Also I want to have a luxury brand product, because it is well-made, looks nice.
However, That products are expensive, and I don't have enough money to buy it. so I can't buy that products. But I don't want to buy imitation. I think that would better purchase little low level brand than purchase imitation.
In case of contents like music, movie,comic books, I Usually download it free, but sometimes pay fee.
However, The contents that I like very much, I buy it.
Also we know why the price goes like that. We deserve to pay off our effort!
답글삭제although we pay some fee for downloading things online, the fee we pay don't go to the person who made, but to the person who uploaded. isn't it? I am not sure, and Linda, I agree with the thoughts that products are the result of designers devotion and hard working!
답글삭제I agree with your example of a bag. If I can't afford a nice one, I'd rather have something totally different. I think I would feel weird carrying a copy.
답글삭제I agree with your opinion that designer's copyright is very important. I think luxury brand products have value on their identity, creativity, and their history. Their design lead a new era. In my opinion, they also give people pride. People usually think if they wore the luxury brand bag, that thing could enhance their value. In that sense, I think people buy imitations of luxury brand bag to seek this kind of pleasure.
답글삭제Me,too. I don't have enough money to buy expensive thins, but I don't want to buy imitation
