It's quite unfortunate that the injured party is the one who is accused of being wrong. It often happens in the judicial system, and we see it happen here on occasion as well. It's too bad that there isn't a way that we can tell instantly if a product is all original. It has been quite some time since I have put a product in the store here, but I am preparing several as we speak ... so I'm not sure if there is an agreement that you have to acknowledge first that the product does not infringe on anyone's copyright. If there is such an agreement in place, and Umutov acknowledged that the work was all his own when he submitted it, then he has no right to be angry because he got caught. If you can't do business honestly, then you have to take the heat when the flames get high. Blackhearted did nothing wrong here ... the only "fault" that is his is that he is too talented. 8-)
