    Default FUN with BOOTLEG posters

    Hey. If you've purchased the COHEED & CAMBRIA (with the robot) poster off of EBAY...please contact me ASAP.

    BRIAN@BRIANEWING.COM



    It's been brought to my attention by a few people now, that they purchased fraudulent copies of the COHEED poster from a certain dealer on ebay. The print quality SUCKS and the person went as far as forging my name and numbering them. You have no idea how pissed I am about this. The difference between the official poster and the bootleg are very obvious. Including the forged signature.
    When one of my posters are sold out...they're SOLD OUT. I do keep some around for a rainy day or when I might need new teeth but I DO NOT bootleg and sell my own work. Just ask the people that contact me constantly and want the sold out stuff. I rarely reply, and when I do I tell them to check ebay.
    I DO NOT sell my posters on ebay. I leave that up to the poster dealers. Below is a list of EBAY dealersI recommend if you can't find a specific poster on my site.

    ALT FOLK ART GALLERY

    If I left any dealers off of the list, please contact me.

    It is only getting bootlegged becasue it has drawings of me on it.

    Kidding, of course. This sucks. It is the worst bootlegging story I have heard in a while. Bummer for you to have too deal with, Brian. Going as far as forging your name and numbering them is low. Really low.

    I was simply providing a service to meet an existing demand. Sheesh.

    You think I LIKE forging your signature? It's work, let me tell you.

    Just a word of advice... keep track of every poster you sell. In case someone pulls this. It's retarded. From now on I won't deal with the person(s) involved.

    that sucks Brian

    I see that you are getting the word out on this issue on BRY for example... one suggestion is perhaps to also post this message on www.phishposters.com since they have quite a few active forum members

    I can't believe someone would do this and think that they would not get caught...

    bad news

    I know you won't but it would great if you would post the name of the person doing it so others can avoid doing business with the guy. He contacted me and I don't think i will be selling to him.


    Lame.

    I just hired a lawyer last week to help me deal with contracts and whatnot. I brought this up to him and he gave me some great advice as to how to deal with this. He's also handling some stuff for the band as well...so he already knew.
    It sucks, I'd rather not waste my time on this. My reputation and credibility are affected because someone wanted to make some easy cash.

    I would be good if people potentially selling to this guy could know who he is. I sold a buttload of stuff to him before this happened to you but will not again.
