Did the license holder (Sideshow Collectibles) give consent? No
Did the original creator (Legacy Effects) give consent? No
Did the original artist give consent? Reportedly
Did the trademark holder give consent? No
Did the copyright holder give consent? No
Does one "yes" to the above questions cancel out the four "no's" of the license holder, original creator, trademark holder or copyright holder? The way the TDH Recasting guidelines are written doesn't say that it's okay to recast if someone in the supply chain gives consent. It lists everyone in that supply chain and states "or" when speaking to the stakeholders. If any of them say "no" then it's a "no" per the recasting guideline.
I don't need to know the the individual's identity. I am speaking about the individual's actions based on what you've shared. If TDH admin knows the identity of the maker, then they know the identity.
I am pointing out that the reported actions of the individual recasting the Legacy Effects helmet based on what you've shared, is in violation of the TDH Recasting rules. It just means what it means. Whether or not the guidelines are followed or not is what it is.
So if everyone needs to give consent in the supply everything is a recast. It doesn't matter if we're discussing Sideshow/Legacy, right?
Let's discuss gauntlets rockets as you sell them, right? They're not a "found part" they were made specifically for Boba Fett.
Did the license holder( efx/sideshow/anovos) give consent? No
Did the original creator give consent? Yes
Did the original artist give consent who designed it at ILM? No
Did the copyright holder give consent? No
So are you a recaster?
I would say no. You would say yes.
