@F2oDesigns Lookout For Copycats
06th May 2012 by HisOne thing that is famous in Kuwait is people stealing successful businesses. Thinking that this will get them the fame they dream of.
Creativity comes within and not by copying. Fatma Al-Othman owner of F2oDesigns is one of those talented artists that created a great business. Of course she was a target of thieves and her designs were stolen.
In the current Get2gether Expo, a business by the name of A&S designs have stolen her art and used it for their own benefit.
You know what’s worse? He actually admitted that he used them and “took them off the net”. He thinks taking it from the internet is alright. Guess what….IT IS STEALING….
Anyway below are some pics from the expo and his reply. Look out for copy cats.

Becoming the first business in Kuwait that fries chocolate is a huge thing then some business comes and make themselves famous by saying they’re first? That’s not cool heck ’9olm.. And he admitted that he stole it wether this way or that? Stealing is wrong!! Oo Aham shay Ina byanzil downtown oo si3ir a8al.. Please people if you don’t have a business? Don’t rent a booth .. And fake the story of you created it.. Remember who was first and who created the idea!

May 07th, 2012 at 06:52Copying in general is a huge trend here in Kuwait. When people see that you are successful with a type of business, website, or with a certain product, people tend to “copy” the ideas of others for their own benefit. It’s very stressful because you work so hard (and invest a lot) at being creative and establishing yourself and your ideas, and then BAM, someone else is trying to do the same exact thing. Chin up F2O. We know you’re the real deal…

May 13th, 2012 at 01:45Shame on him for 1. Stealing someone’s work 2. Speaking disrespectfully and denying what he did.
But honestly? Shame on her if she doesn’t report him. As long as she has a registered business she can report him not only for compensation but also to protect her work.
The reason why people ignore copyright in Kuwait is because no one takes them to court and they do not get punished.
