Gojiria FX just accused me of plagiarizing them.

[Jwar]

So sorry for put this in gear but it's upsetting the fucking shit out of me. I woke up today to a bunch of negative comments and trolls on my Acid Splash Designs because I did a Mr. Sparkle design for a customer.

Come to find out they offer that on a pedal. Which I did not know.

What baffles me is that someone called it plagiarizing and another said to sue me??? How about I contact Matt Groening and ask if anyone has purchased rights to his images??? I'm sure that would be the end of it.

I'm so dumb founded by this. It's the most petty thing I've ever seen.

I wrote Them an apology letter, because I felt bad, then I see this.







So I have to say. I'm a bit taken back by someone being so upset as to have his minions come after me. Someone actually said to sue me!!! I can't believe it. Good fucking luck dude.

He talks about me copying him? Look at his site. http://gojira.co.uk/ I don't see one original image on there at all.


I'm so fucking pissed about this. First time every I felt like telling people to go fuck themselves on my Acid Splash page.

So they grabbed an image from someone else and are mad that you also made use of said image. Stay classy, people...

This. How many times has the Hokusai wave been used on pedals? Don't let it get to you, dude. Looks like a bunch of people who don't know a thing about art or plagiarizing. It sucks now but will be forgotten in good time.

Wait... what? Copying a picture from pop culture on to a pedal is all good fun - I've had you do it for me before. But claiming rights to using the spesific picture (which you don't own the rights to)?

Matt Groening is rolling in his grave.

custom one-off pedals are cool because you can pick whatever image you want on it and not get sued.
these guys are substituting google images for actual graphic design on production pedals, so they're definitely the kind of fucking morons that would get angry at you over this.

can i commission an etch from you using the same image they're grabbing for one of their other pedals? pretty please?

[foomanfat]

What a bunch of idiots.

[Strange Tales]

Can I get a custom etch of a gojirafx pedal, onto my pedal?

[futuresailors]

make a special etched version with the facebook comments as the graphic.

I think what everyone is missing here is that behind the cheap stick on artwork of publicly sourced images lies Gojira FX's real originality: Tubescreamer, Rat, and Muff circuits.

Yeah, this dickhead should definitely worry about someone ripping him off.

you should totally get an etch of a picture of their pedal onto a pedal

according to the name, i'm assuming its a tubescreamer clone as well,
not exactly re-inventing the wheel there either....

This would be hilarious!!!

Thanks guys for the good comments. I honestly felt like I was hit with a bag of bricks by this. Just couldn't believe it. Made me angry and sad at the same time.

I just don't get it. Why would they think I was stealing from them? It's beyond bizarre to me.

Don't let it get to you man. Dickheads will be dickheads. Also it's hilarious how his compatriots call jumped on his wagon, no thought for themselves, no question at all. Dickheads.

(I love how dickheads registers as a single word here without being all underlined in red)
