I mean how much of the glass in this thread falls under this category?it's especially disgusting for them to just poorly attempt a direct copy of what was made by someone else without even asking or anything...
(Other than the glass made in the same factory that gets rebadged for companies like Grav or Sneaky Pete).
I can't get down with the ripoff designs. And IMHO objections to this sort of rip off should not be limited to a case where we happen to know the person being ripped off. The innovators should be the ones profiting off of their inspiration. If you can't afford the real deal, save your pennies until you can.
Maybe not a popular take in this thread but that's where my personal moral compass points.
And it isn't like there isn't lots of great glass that isn't ripping off artists still out there and available. And some folks like TAG give you the opportunity to score great deals thru their Seconds which can get a ton of their stuff under $100.
