Don't Fall For This PC Product

The Art of Booty: A Tale of Copyright and Counterfeit Merchandise

In recent times, it has become increasingly common to see brands swiping creative works from other artists without permission. This phenomenon is all too frequent, with numerous sellers proudly displaying their products adorned with stolen artwork. One such seller was V, a company that claimed to have obtained licenses for the use of certain images. However, when I reached out to them under an alias, they provided vague responses that left me wondering if they were telling the truth.

I decided to investigate further and searched for any information on the artist behind the mural of dumpers that seemed to be widely appropriating by brands such as V. After scouring the web, I found several websites like Steam Workshop where the image was hosted, but all of them turned out to be copies with low resolutions and no mention of the source. I searched every nook and cranny of the web, hoping to find the original artwork, and finally stumbled upon a website called Danuru, an anime image board. The page loaded, and before I knew it, there it was in all its glory - the alleged artist's name was listed with multiple links in their profile, confirming that this was indeed the original artwork.

But despite my efforts to verify the licensing status of V's products, I received no reply from the seller, leaving me to wonder if their claims were true. The only way to know for sure would be to contact the artist directly, but unfortunately, they seemed to have disappeared. One thing that still felt unresolved was whether this product was actually a good product or just a whole lot of junk. I decided to purchase one myself, knowing full well that it would stain my squeaky clean order history and that my algorithm would never be the same.

When my item arrived, I was greeted by Street Fighter branded packaging - almost as if the seller wanted to throw unsuspecting buyers one last curveball. The display board itself was made of acrylic, highly prone to scratches, but the artwork print was surprisingly crisp, allowing me to appreciate all the fine details. One indicator that this might actually be a licensed image is that it's not flipped, which is something sellers often do with stolen artwork to pass off as legitimate.

However, I did notice that the image was cropped on both sides, removing some of the booty from the original artwork. The original artwork features nine full booties, while my display board showcases just five full booties and two partial booties - a grand total of six out of nine booties. To use the product, you'll need to connect it to your power supply or to the included LED controller, which then connects to your PSU via SATA with the help of a Molex cable.

The display board is designed to be mounted to the case's PSU shroud, but beware of mounting it too low, particularly if your side panel has bottom tabs that pose clearance issues. When I installed the product and turned on my PC, I was greeted by an Eclectic mix of pleasure and shame - a glowing lady butt that seemed to bring a unique ambiance to my environment. However, only two out of three buttons on the controller worked, and they provided all of the advertised functions.

The backlight works well enough and cooks all the Buns evenly without any unsightly hot spots. Despite some subjective taste aside, I was impressed by the product's performance in doing its single task - creating a flared display that adds a touch of whimsy to my environment. While many of us prefer other methods of making our PCs extra thick, I think the sheer Amusement that this item brings to the table is something we can all get behind.

In conclusion, the V Booty product may not be perfect, but it's certainly an interesting and quirky addition to any PC setup. If you're looking for a unique way to add some flair to your rig, then this might be the product for you. However, if you're particular about aesthetics or prefer more traditional designs, then you may want to look elsewhere.
