I always get really upset for the designer's sake when I see a knock-off of one of their products sold on another site. I know I would be really ticked if I saw my own design was altered a little bit and resold for cheap. Recently, Forever21 has been guilty of selling knock-offs of designs from jewelry designers like Lila Rice, Vega Jewelry, and Fendi. I think that it's really wrong and dishonest.
Where do you stand on the issue? Fair game, or outrage-worthy?
