I'm just wondering how far does the policy apply, because lately people trying to sell images they made (copied) from films were asked not to, but...
A LOT of people are re-selling Magnoli items (jackets, ties) on this website, which infringe both Tom Ford and EON's rights very clearly.
Are these allowed?
Thanks.

Comments
However, if someone has permission to include trademark or copyright material (and can show that they have it), we are happy for that material to be included. If not, then we would ask people to remove it (or remove it ourselves).
Only if they sew a Tom Ford label in it. Just because an item of clothing looks like another, I can't see how that infringes on anyones copyright. Otherwise everyone selling Tom Ford TF108 sunglasses are infringing on Oliver Peoples.
Images are another matter.....

Its very good and I like the conclusion - it is a demand problem, not the supply -{
a) which replica is the best
b) which replica could be exchanged for better fitting hats
c) which of the watches is general chang's genuine rolex that they put down just 2 seconds ago, ah seat.

Hello Kan,
I am not sure, if that's correct as it's the question of the hen and the egg.
But if we assume for one moment, that it's solely a demand problem - you may understand my fallout with the guy who flogged the fake Dupont lighter here

We are talking simple stuffs here: Demand create Supply
These kind of fakes always start with the needs - identified the product to be copied because it is in high demand with high price - then find a manufacturer/supplier (who are cheap) - China just happen to be the hub of world productions - low costs so that is where it happens. But the mastermind are always foreigner with foreign outlook - they know what is in demand - the Chinese have no clue on the demand, they are being used to manufacture cheap for foreign orders - those foreigner knows they can sell it becuase the demand is there - now who are buying?
I blame the likes of rolex and omega, if they didn't make such nice watches for people to copy, there wouldn't be any demand for anything.
I recommend everyone goes down the route of the trabant, make something so crap and ugly, that no-one will want to buy, or copy it!

I had the same thought, MG!
I have a very good friend who works at the HK police - mostly fighting drug smuggling by sea there.
As far as I have heard from him, Chinese Triads know very well about the demand for their stuff but I agree Kan:
Organized crime is not an exclusive asian thing. Wasn't it "invented" over here in Europe

So, I am evidently dominating the global market usually.
As I am not on the side of the demand for fakes, I wonder, why that does not influence the supply of these
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
personaly I have no problems with fakes, the only fake thing I would buy are watches, only because I could not afford or bring my self to have a real watch modified. If you buy and wear fake anything you are only fooling your self
Then some foreigners came with these shiny watches with strange names to the Chinese like "Rolex" and "Omega" and ask them if they can reproduce these, the Chinese not wanting to loose face say sure - they made lots of them and cheap to impress the foreigners - this is so as not to loose face and impress the foreigner :-)
I wear the 3rd watch sometimes, but like pete says, you're only fooling yourself at the end of it. If anyone ask if its real, i tell em its fake, but if it the real one then people never ask, bloody typical.

or was it because they could make some serious coin out of it? hmmmm

The point is these fakes are foreign creations - countries in the west - watch the documentary.
The people buying and creating the demand needs to take responsibilities.
The ones who make the most money are the people selling them in US, UK, Europe and the mastermind.

In the fakes if fools, because they use a trademark that is not theirs
If I want to have Bond's Poloshirt/suit/tie etc, I want the real thing.
Ian Fleming wrote a lot about the quality of seaisland cotton, but you have to feel this quality as an example.
It does not make sense to produce/buy an item, that looks similar, but does not have the same material/craftmanship like the original.
And because of this, it's similar like the "merits" of fake watches: They may look like the real deal, but they definitely are not. So you are fooling yourself again - regardless if there is a faked logo inside or not.
My 2 cents...

Likewise, I have an Aston Martin but replaced the badges with Fiat ones :v
I just hope Petesleftball is not a fake
I think Bondtoys meant the quality of Tom Ford v. the quality of Magnoli, not just the tag.
I can confirm that
