Recasters page on FaceBook

[TheSt.LouisKid]

Perhaps make it a closed group to minimize the possibility of backlash?

I'm sorry but what is "backlash" in this context?

A facebook page offers no risk of heightened scrutiny from studios or license holders. They don't bother looking at facebook, they all come RIGHT HERE.

We are not operating in secrecy here, folks. Studios know ALL about this place, and are very aware of what is going on here. It's not visibility that should frighten you. It's being stupid, or acting stupidly.

Backlash as in "Your honor, we are seeking damages for libel committed by ________ on a Facebook page...."

Yeah, that's pretty much what I meant. I think it's a great idea - it will be a one-stop source of info on who to avoid.

I'm not a recaster nor a sockpuppet and to attack a person just because of only 5 posts shows how low and single minded some of you are. I've been here awhile and mainly read and following projects. Last I checked having a mandatory post count so that I may "fit in" is not a requirement to be a member here.
I only suggest that posting information for both the recaster AND the original seller will only draw more attention to license holders and studios.

I don't make props for sale so I have nothing to worry about, however some of the people I know personally survive on supplying kits and replicas. More attention to these people can and I believe will hurt these suppliers.
Last I checked I'm entitled to my opinion and that's all I'm going to say on this.

Well if you have been here awhile, you would know this is a very cut and dry concept. To think that Hollywood prop builders, owners, and sellers, do not frequent the RPF, is a very
single minded statement!
Sorry, but everything you stated, in that thread (weather you meant it or not), is very characteristic of something a recaster would say. The studios know what goes on here, and there are many from those studios that frequent here, as contributing members.

"Just Saying!"

One of the most ridiculous ignorant posts I have read on this forum

:lol Just sayin...:lol

jeez... here we go again :lol
Look, I don't care who recasts what from who especially when it's property of the OFFICIAL rights holders. I'm not defending the actions of these people but it's kinda silly and funny when people say they were ripped off by having an item copied when the original "artist" ripped it off from the rights holders.:lol
Seriously people putting a facebook page is only drawing attention to you from the rights holders. Once they get wind of the people selling items they will start going after the recasters AND the person who selling it "originally" :facepalm

I don't care if an artist makes a prop totally from scratch or copies a screen used prop that was used in a film (Star Trek as an example) let's use a phaser for an example. Joe makes a STIII phaser (cast from a screen used or not) but sells it as a phaser, we all know its a phaser. it gets copied, the "artist" complains "this guy recasted MY kit! In fact it isn't your kit and you in fact ripped off the studios and didn't pay them a dime for selling their property.
So all this "recasters awareness" is only making the studios aware of both parties. Think it about it:behave

Then in time everyone will start complaining there isn't any runs or offerings anymore because stupid actions like this got all the recasters and "artists" C&D'ed

Face it, we all don't like it but there is NOTHING we can do about it except live it and move on but putting a facebook page naming the recaster and the person who they recast from brings attention to the studios to who is selling recasts and who is selling or sold the original..... total bonehead idea people.
Oh, just because the original person is not selling it anymore the studios do have the legal right to request records of previous sales and still come after you.

just saying...

Gee, I can't help but notice that a lot of the prop/replica artists out there have there own Facebook page to show off their work. Every single one that I know does , Including myself! I really don't think that a recaster page will hurt, and I support it. If someone isn't recasting, then hopefully they won't be on the page to be noticed!

 

[Chaank]

Thread about recasters flushes recaster. News at 11lollol

Someone put a thread in the JY selling "Various props, good quality for recasting." We're on a roll and they seem to be getting dumb and dumberer (see what I did there?)lollollol

Sabermasters is now on the mod's watch list without a doubt.

This is true... except for me. I just have it on my personal page.

[animefan]

Sounds like something a recaster would say.......

second that

 

[Nerdy Comic]

This is like the 5th thread on recasting I've seen in the past two days. Why cant these people (recasters) create their own work? I joined this site to get ideas and learn from people who have more talent than I do. Also because I'm a huge nerd and love seeing my favorite characters in real life.But mostly the firsr thing.

It is faster and cheaper to make copies and make more profit.
