TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – A Taiwanese gamer accused Chinese online shopping websites Taobao of selling clay models that superficially resembled her without her acknowledgment.

On Tuesday, an online gamer of the Survival Game posted an article on her Facebook page saying that she unexpectedly discovered some mini clay models which looked like her, selling on Taobao but without having informed her. She denounced this act as a form of copyright infringement and described the items as “weird dolls” while asking for advice from netizens to take them down.

According to her investigation, the company behind the infringement products was Yu Fan Wan Wu (與帆玩物) which is a specialist in clay models. The company reportedly used her online photo to illegally create 5-cm-high clay models and also used her photo to advertise for the products.    [FULL  STORY]
