knock off mermaid tails (part 1 & 2)

Courtney Mermaid comparing the fins of her Pirate Dream's tail to the fins of another tail makers creation.

So to say these videos were a long time coming would be a pretty big understatement...

Over the last few years, the rise in companies and other creatives stealing from existing creators within the mermaid community has been enormous. 

You can't swing a monofin these days without hitting at least 4 or 5 knock off mermaid tails...

I've made two videos in response to some of the more recent drama and I hope you will find them informative and helpful.

Cheap knock off mermaid tails, where they come from, why they suck, and why companies keep ripping us off. This is part 1...

The difference between plagiarism, copying, and inspiration. BUCKLE UP and let's dive in.

There is a difference between plagiarism, copying, and inspiration. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of understanding the difference, especially when you decide to take matters into your own fins...

If you only watch one of the videos, I recommend the "Copy VS Inpso" since I also touch on what you can do to help your favourite creators when their work gets stolen and how to know when it is appropriate to get involved.

Thank you so much to all you beautiful fishes who love my work enough that you choose to stand up for me when you see I'm being taken advantage of. I love and appreciate you all so much!

Happy Swimming!
