Cosmic already asked that, but has anyone sent an email to Scanavo? I think they're the only ones who can do something about those fake steelbooks.

The question is, do we want all Fantasyboxes to disappear?
As I said earlier, I do like some of their designs. Especially for games, which never got an official release of a steelbook. So we have at least some options to get steelcases for those games. And now that we know of those fake steelbooks, we hopefully can avoid them when buying steels on ebay etc.

On the other hand, I hate those fake ones with the same design as the original steelbooks and to me it's clear plagiarism.

What do you guys think about that?

There are other people making custom steelbooks for years (Chinese people included, so no one thinks this is something related to race/nationality), that i do not want them to disappear.
These guys on the other hand are actively deceiving people.
I do not care how good their original work is, after the moment they started dealing with forgeries they lost any goodwill i have towards people who makes custom work..
