So what? Hasbro has stopped all those Chinese Fake Transformers - oh wait, they didn't, because they can't do anything about it.

I'm pretty sure that e.g. German copyrighty laws allow Proxies as long as you don't try to sell them online or anywhere else and as long as they're for personal use only.

How Wizards handles this issue in their official tournaments was already stated by them pretty clearly.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't care about other card games, but no offense, are you implying that they're already realistically faking cards of a set that wasn't even spoiled in any kind of way? :eyebrow:

Sorry, i can't seem to find anything on buying fakes laws. Far as I know Manufacturing, Producing, and Distributing with intent to deceive is punishable. Not owning and buying.

I started playing magic 5 years ago when tarmo price was still 45 dollars and looked pretty high to me.
In years i managed to collect all the cards needed for modern and most for legacy.
Currently I miss 2 underground seas and 2 tropical Islands to get all the duals needed to build all tier 1/2 decks.
Honestly in this situation I'm very hesitant to buy a 350 dollar dual land. Im afraid the price will eventually drop due.
Im not willing to invest in old staples anymore. I believe the risk of loosing money now is too high. If i want to play with those cards I will ask just friends to borrow me.
Im sure im not the only one who thinks in this way.

Why did they say that?

Possibly because it looks a lot like spam.ming Hasbro with these.

"Excuse me sir, may I offer you a free service you need in order to facilitate war against a menace that may, in the future, cause major and lasting damage to your enterprise?"

"Fuck off bitch, we ain't got no time for your spam round these parts."

Seams like a fail to me.

To their credit, at least they're consistent in their incompetence.

Its because they don't care. The only one that cares about old magic cards values are the jerks sitting on tons of stockpiled duals and such.

Even wizards are telling you to give it a rest haha

For every site killed, 5 new ones pop up. Kinda understandable.

They probably don't care since they can sell new cards with shiny new protection after M15.

It's probably more so that they are already in a legal proceedings with Hex and don't have the budget to pursue two cases at once.

They don't want to know since knowing and not defending their copyright could cause them to lose it should it come down to that.

Then again, maybe not, I don't know, we can only guess.

The legal dept is Hasbro's, a multi billion dollar multinational. There is no way they don't have the legal resources to do practically whatever they want.

And there's nothing Hasbro loves more than "protecting" their "intellectual property", believe me. WotC won't even let people running GPs use the GP logo without a 3 month long permission process, because Hasbro. If you've ever wondered why sometimes GP playmats don't have the GP logo.

funny thing though same companies were selling Hex electronic cracks

but Barrook : post M15 border is already compromised ...


CDR : Also the main company was faking new MTG playmats by Ultra Pro already , bought out two shipments in 5 mins.
