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. As always, I'll be keeping an eye on new and unusual tech products, so be sure to drop them in the comments below if you'd like me to review them next time.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enat one point or another we've all opened up a package of something we ordered only to find that it fell woefully short of our expectations this rang especially true to me last week when I almost made a grave purchasing mistake while scrolling on Amazon I came across what I initially thought was a cool LCD screen for the inside of my PC but eventually realized that it was a decorative LED display featuring OverWatch fan art that I wouldn't exactly call safe for work I figured I couldn't be the only one who barely dodged a bullet until the customer reviews revealed that some folks weren't as lucky and actually bought the item thinking it was an LCD make no mistake the image of a shocked father or young child receiving this item is hilarious but to help prevent such chaos I vowed to uncover the root of the problem and how The Branding of a simple product could slip through the cracks it's time we dive deep into those cracks now before we continue this video is brought to you in part by cdkey offer.com so I have three desktop PCS that I regularly bounce between and all of them are running activated copies of Windows from keys that I got on CD

affordably thanks again to cdkey offer.com now back to the main video expecting one package and receiving another can be a jarring experience ESP especially when an item so salacious enters your home to fully understand the breaches of all these peaches I had to start by analyzing the product page the title shows that the item is from a brand named VR which we'll discuss later but the rest of the text makes it unclear as to what exactly this product is it calls itself a display board with LED lights for computer case which is particularly vague followed by specifications like full HD 2K for one this is contradictory in that full HD represents a 1920 x 1080 resolution not 2K which is typically 2560 X 1440 but the main point here is that including terminology to describe resolution could easily lead the average person to think that this was an LCD screen I assume what the seller is referring to is that the printed artwork on this panel is a high quality or HD image but at this point there's still no mention as to whether the image is printed or digital also listed here is the text horizontal and B6 this helps to notify Shoppers that the product is offered in two variants B6 and A6 with the latter featuring different physical dimensions a vertical orientation and a different display image of similar tastes none of which get us closer to the bottom of this mystery in fact one of the A6 photos even features a third display image adding to the confusion surely the product description would set things straight but no more vague wording terms like resolutions and no confirmation as to whether the image could be changed left me in the dark until I saw one of the photos featuring a diagram of the product with only a single Molex cable which doesn't carry video signal last I it's a small detail that most people probably wouldn't notice and shouldn't have to if a shopper has combed this far into your product page and still can't tell exactly what you're selling you have failed from a marketing standpoint in the seller vr's case whether that's due to attempts to deceive buyers or sheer incompetence is unclear but both possibilities are inexcusable it seems that the only way to be 100% certain as to what this product is is by reading the reviews of upset customers stating things like it's just a backlit picture it's not a display and it's a static image and does not alternate all of these are key product details that should have been included in the description to prevent this assault on misled buyers barring the reviews two minor hints that this is not an LCD are the price which seems low for the type of display this resembles and the customer photos that only feature the same two smudy images along with a few snaps of a street fighter version that appears to be no longer for sale that's all to say I can't blame anyone who bought this product expecting the endless possibilities of an LCD and got booty instead it would go a long way for VR to Simply update their copy with explicit language stating that these products are not LCDs and feature static images that can't be changed Not only would this have the biggest impact of protecting buyers it would also help lower the Brand's restocking fees due to high return rates so everyone wins but is this a move we can trust VR to make who is VR anyway a quick look at their Amazon store pulls up a number of budget cases coolers and other PC parts and accessories that seem to be OEM items meaning VR doesn't manufacture products so much as brand them that said they're pretty smart about what they slap their name on to since most of their products have positive reviews coincidentally Gamers Nexus reviewed their popular A5 cooler a couple years back and said it was fine which is as high a mark as any from Steve especially these days for a brand that's reached such notoriety and success once again I would expect VR to do the right thing here for the sake of Shoppers and update the copy of all their display board products to quite literally cover their asses at this point I could have packed it in case closed just another Amazon Seller with poorly written copy but looking into VR got me thinking if they weren't manufacturing their own products it seemed unlikely that this image was produced internally and that it was potentially being used without the artist's permission after all it's not uncommon for Brands to swipe the creative works of others as evidenced by the numerous sellers I found cify their own products with the same piece of artwork was this a stolen image was it licensed protected under copyright or fair use I reached out to V under an alias who quickly replied with a vague claim stating images of our products are licensed making it unclear if this was referring to the artwork itself or the carousel images on their product page when I asked for clarification they said that all the images on all of their display panels were in fact licensed which was a relief to hear but I wanted more confirmation naturally the only person who could possibly corroborate V's claims was the artist behind this mural of dumpers that so many Brands were now appropriating to find our Vincent vanho I Googled some Choice keywords which revealed several places like Steam Workshop where the image was hosted but they all turned out to be copies often cropped in low resolution with no mention of the source I searched every nook crack and cranny of the web hoping to find the full set of original cheeks alas each path led me down one dead rear end after another and just when it seemed I would never find our Fanny Warhol silly me realized I hadn't done a reverse image search doing so returned hundreds of results to comb through until one in particular caught my eye it was from danuru an anime image board the the page loaded and before I knew it there it was in all its Glory uncropped highres booty and right beside it the alleged artist's name bore several links in their profile confirmed that this was indeed our Leonardo deuchi revealing a substantial portfolio of similar artwork that I backed up locally for research purposes I tried contacting bore multiple times to verify whether the seller's claims were true but received no reply unfortunately when it comes to the artwork licensing status V's word alone is all we have to go on for now despite feeling like I had just been to several moons and back one thing still felt unresolved was this actually a good product or just a whole lot of junk I mean hundreds if not thousands of people bought this item knowing full well what it was and most of them seemed like happy customers for those of you with Bolder taste than my own who might be considering this product now that I've brought it to your attention I decided to purchase one myself fully aware that it would stain my squeaky clean order history and that my algorithm would never be the same despite the great sacrifice I
