CJU gets ripped off! What's all the fuss?
This site represents my time and money. I had to buy everything that's used to maintain it (laptops, cameras, scanners, modem, software, etc.) I pay an ISP and a hosting service. Every image has to be formatted or manipulated in some way, and certain elements take hours to produce. Of course, this doesn't begin to recognize the time and effort invested by those who contribute their own articles and images. When our stuff shows up on other sites, I have to conclude that it's because those who steal it are lazy, ignorant or dishonest... probably all three.
This monstrosity turned up on eBay. It makes liberal use of CJU T-shirt designs.
A Chinese dude wears a cheesy copy of a CJU T-shirt done up in horrible colors.
A German dude sells cheesy copies of CJU T-shirts on eBay.
More German dudes organizing a CJ event. Every single one of their graphics was lifted from CJU. If you can tell me anything about this I'd like to know!
These people are attending some sort of unveiling. Look—photographers and everything! Whoa! What's all the fuss here?!
Why it's the handsome new 750.com.cn logo—a very cheesy copy of my gas tank emblem.
Dave Walczak and I spent around 15 hours on the original design so I'm really happy that our friends in China like it so much.
Speaking of cheesy, somebody in China produces these super cheesy copies of the tank emblems. Just look at that "0" in 750. Now that's quality.
And here's a couple bikes with them, courtesy of rider.cn.com.
This emblem pops up everywhere these days.
There it is again!
Whoa baby! This thing's sweeping the nation!
There's at least two on this bike from the RiderCN bulletin board.
Who's this dickhead? This expat wears patches ripped off from two CJU T-shirt designs but the rocker was changed to THE LEGEND CONTINUES (which is way stupid.)
This is the dude's face in a screen grab from a video. If you can tell me who he is I'd sure like to have a word with him. He's a European living in Changchun. (My e-mail address is edsel400@yahoo.com.)
