Here is the thread regarding the Papyrus clones... take a look at the location of the notches and scuffs of each letter, and that's where the ripoff artists really give themselves away. It's not just the font itself ripped off... digitizing a font takes many hundreds of hours and the ripoff artists couldn't even be bothered to reverse-engineer the font (ie, printing it, tracing it, and re-coding it); they just made some minor adjustments to the file and stuck their name on it...


...if you're a writer, imagine how angry you would feel if some took your ebook, renamed a few characters, edited a few plot points, changed the title, then took credit for your work. We're not talking about inspiration, here...

Which is exactly why I stress that if you like a font, be sure it is the genuine article... and then give credit where it's due.
