I had gotten a request to make the costume, and I knew nothing about the series until I made the dress. An email from the BBC was sent to Etsy claiming infringement and the item was removed. After wards I searched for Dalek on Etsy and 894 items came up. <br /><br />I understand that the BBC owns the rights, but I make custom costumes, one hit wonders that are usually never made again. It seems a little strange to me to remove my item and leave the other 894 items which are effectively doing the same thing. I fear our society is getting a little TOO copyright happy. <br /><br />I make Star Trek costumes too, but won't be posting those either even though thousands of people have custom costumes made yearly for every possible Star Trek convention.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07746065877021279335noreply@blogger.com
