GP compared copying a piece of clothing to copying digital art. I'd say that setting up a factory to make knockoffs - or even "just" buying a sewing machine, finding and buying the right fabric, laying out the piece you want to copy, tracing it, cutting the fabric, sewing it, and iterating until it comes out right - would qualify as "a truly astonishing amount of effort" for a person.
- Animats 3y agoYou can outsource. Look for "knockoff clothing manufacturers".
- mftrhu 3y agoYes. Now you - a generic person without any specific skills - just have to search for someone who is willing to sew knockoff clothing to your specification, ship them the item, and wait for them to get back to you - a month or longer, probably, as they are likely based in China and shipping things by boat - while hoping that your cursory search led you to an honest knockoff manufacturer, who won't just take your money and disappear. I'd say that it still qualifies as a "truly astonishing amount of effort" when compared to the right-clicking and pressing save method of copying digital art.
