I am hereby putting you on notice that copying the Zuri designs and modifying them to claim them as yours is an infringement of copyright. If you do not immediately remove the phoenix from your page and inventory, we will take steps to expose your plagiarism.

I would like to reassure you that we have the correct licences where necessary for all of our moulds. Some of our licences I have had for a lot longer than other makers.
We have never copied anyone’s work. I have been making moulds in one form or another for 15 years so have never jumped on any bandwagon. Our moulds are made for Resin Art even though they can be used with many other mediums.
They are shiny not matt which makes a big difference to the finish and quality that you can produce.
If you have any concerns please do not hesitate to contact me.

So when was crafter going to be told of the revelation that both these so-called creative companies just licence images? I can’t
say that wither company has mentioned it, either online or on selly telly?
