Since there's no callsign badge, and I haven't made one, the QSL cards I received with a callsign badge looked exactly the same as those without. Honestly, I couldn't tell the difference.
As an outsider, the first thing I noticed about this post was a very strong feeling of blatant advertising. The simple wave-like patterns and decorations themselves don't have any copyright implications, and applying for copyright would only be possible for artistic works, at most just to deceive people. If these could all have copyrights, then the design industry wouldn't need to exist anymore.
Furthermore, I specifically checked the price myself. As a university student who has conducted related social surveys and is involved in an entrepreneurial competition project, I find this price to be very high. The "high quality" aspect seems driven by consumerism. Given the current overall economic downturn, as well as the presence of numerous similar shops on platforms like Taobao and Pinduoduo that offer similar products, even our own university has many machines available for making seals. There are many alternatives available. Even if the quality is as high as you say, at this price, the marginal utility of the product is already very low. Most people will choose a more economical and cost-effective option with higher marginal utility in the current economic situation.
I respect intellectual property rights, and I also have technology-related invention patents and musical works registered with the National Copyright Bureau. However, I do not approve of copyright infringement or "copyright bullying," which is similar to monopolistic practices.
Furthermore, I have reservations about the tendency of some people to immediately criticize and disparage others in the forum, while also advocating against blindly comparing and competing with other communities or forming small cliques. Given that it's already difficult for us to meet here due to our shared interest, there is no need for infighting or mutual criticism; instead, we should focus on discussing and learning from each other to improve our skills and knowledge.
To be honest, I had never heard of or recognized VSA before, but your post and the replies within it have significantly decreased my positive impression of him. To put it bluntly, based on the information and perspective I've encountered, he seems to resemble the behavior of Guo He in the past.
In summary, I hope to see more friendly posts from you in the forum in the future, 73!
