I am very familiar with copyrights as related to what I do.
Now, if everyone would READ THE FUCKING THREAD they'll see that I DO NOT KNOW WHY HIS DESIGNS WERE IMITATED. I had nothing to do with it.
TFCash has been buying exclusive content from me from the beginning of my career in the business. I can only ASSUME (REPEAT ---- ASSUME BECAUSE I HAVEN'T SPOKEN WITH THEM AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY THINK) that TFCash, knowing that I purchased the design from Fletch, believes that copyright laws with designers is the same as it is with content providers.
TFCash also knows that I am very generous and that what is mine is his... if he wants to use it. IF he assumed that I have the same exclusive rights on this DESIGN that he has when he buys content from me, he would know that I would allow him to use anything I own.
He also knows that I hated his designer's work and loved Fletch's.
I can see why he would do what he did without thinking twice about it.
I can ALSO see Fletch's side.
BUT READ THIS. TWICE. THREE FUCKING TIMES IF YOU DON'T COMPREHEND IT THE FIRST TWO TIMES:
I HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA EXACTLY WHAT TFCASH IS THINKING BECAUSE I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ASK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now.... knowing TFCash, I do know they are not scumballs either. They are some of the best in the business. I know there is a logical explanation for this. I JUST HAVEN'T HEARD IT FROM THEM YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got that???????
And to be completely honest with you, I had no idea that copyright laws for Designs are different than the laws I go buy when selling exclusive content.

Relax Donnie.. Looks like you've kind of been left holding the bag.
As for copyright laws, they are more detailed when it comes to design type stuff. It's very iffy and it's a good thing to ask a lawyer about. Hope you guys get shit all worked out, and I'm pretty sure you can understand why things looked bad to Fletch and Cherry. Hopefully everything was miscommunication.
