Okay, I understand GaiaOnline has stopped the release of the coveted Bento bunny due to possible copyright infringement.... But does that really mean Bento Bunny has to be booted out completely? Will we have to long for a loving, sweet-tasting bunny due to immediate overinflation?

I say nay!


Gaia, give us bunny!

What we, the people who sign, hope to achive:

- A new bunny item in the Gaia Cash Shop, same price as the Bento Bunny's original cash price.
A living, breathing confection bunny that is edible and sweet, yet too sweet for us to eat.

OR

- The Bento Bunny, but with a changed appearance.

- An item like that said above, but with an "i am" pose, to benefit the people that sold Bento Bunny before the inflation, and other Bento Bunny aficionados.

To sign, please place "i sign" on your post.

Hoping people post ideas for a new item.
In need of banners, art for the petition's sake!

UPDATE:


We got Bento Bunny back, along with the bundle it was with.
Unfortunately, the "original artist" is posted on Bento Bunny's info, serving as a sour reminder of the day we lived without Bento Bunny.
Don't worry fellow Gaians, at least we got what we wanted.
This thread will stay open for discussion of what happened and as a Bento Bunny Fan Thread.

Here is the quotes for the poll:

Did you know Queen of Dorks STOLE Gaia's idea?
Their hats.
http://queenofdorks.deviantart.com/art/Cute-Plush-Hats-65951503

Have been stolen.
I wonder if Gaia realized this before caving into her demands...
And we're moving to your heart this time
Release!

Yeah.
You should make a petition having us sign it to sue QoD for stealing and selling Gaia's items.... D;;
And we're moving to your heart this time
Release!


surprised Wouldn't that be a bit overboard?
Well.... Hmm...
I'll post up a new poll and let you Gaians decide!


iTsuna-fish
Cause we're moving with a symmetry
oxo<3And we're crashing like the waves in the sea
Not really. I mean, it could give Gaian a say in what goes on.
Gaia should sue.
It isn't fair some girl who has no credit whatsoever, can threaten to sue Gaia for an idea she didn't create.
And we're moving to your heart this time
Release!


....And that is why the poll is up! Gaia, you decide!

~Memorable Quotes~


ispkparseltongue
the artist stated:

"They removed the item from the cash shop and that's really all that matters to me. I don't blame Gaia, I blame whatever lazy artist ganked it. I'm hoping they'll simply edit so they aren't so close, and put the revision for sale. Then we can all be happy."

she is fine with a redo of the item, so i think it is well deserved for gaians to regain the item, just altered. please add my name to the petition.


Kain-Senpai
I sign!
It would be nice to see some of the original poses in a "new" Bento Bunny. The Bento lunch box and chop-sticks pose where too cute!


Lily_Spiral
kindly add my username to the petition ^__^

I hope new poses and the last two poses of the original are within the redesigned Bento Bunny


Tsukiyomi Tsubasa
I want Bento Bunny back! But, Bring an "I Am" pose! whee This is my Onigiri/Bento Bunny support avatar. wink


Sakiawana
*jumps on and signs*
I sign

for the good of my bento bunny wanting ways.
(i hope it still has the bento box pose, I liked it)

Maybe it could be a different colour, like a red blue green ext bento bunny? 8D
And I am pose ftw! 8D pleaseeeee?


snakey loves only kitty
Of course I'll sign this petition. I wasted a hefty, precious amount of real life cash to get this item for my gf a couple of f@&%^!* seconds before Gaia yanked it out of the stores. Gaia, you have broken yet another promise: if you're going to sell an item in the cash shop for about a week, don't yank it off before then! In addition, Gaia, you're a motherf#!^@#$ corporation! Grow a pair and don't buckle before a whiny little female mutt. If she sues, counter-sue her back for libel! Jesus H. Gonzales Jose Christ, why am I telling you these things, go-gaia, sheesh...

btw, I sign this petition whole-heartedly and may that Queen of Dorks rot in hell along with all of her dumba$$ dork "friends."


blackscarfxvi
Gaia promised us a bundle with "premium" items in it. I wanted that bundle for my gf and just because some drama queen harlot went on her period and needs attention from her stepfather doesn't mean that go-gaia should bend over and take one as well. Seriously though, a huge corporation like go-gaia buckling before some insane "artist" (seriously, if that's her art, I'd hate to see her vomit) is completely ridiculous. Bring back the bunny whole and whole.

I sign this petition.


Vyrai
I sign! I never even got a chance of buying one since I logged on to late.
Edit: I hope it's okay that I'm using the image from your signing post in my sig, I linked it back to the petition.


Tasn Zheng
This whole affair has been absurd, so I sign this petition.

I think this situation was handled poorly by BOTH parties, and I don't think it's fair that we users have to suffer for it.

I actually wouldn't mind getting a slightly modified version, with ears like those on the Mercury's/Herme's moon bunnies.

♥ ♥ ♥


Murderous Distraction
I sign. I was going to go out and buy a Cash Card so I could get those bunnies...
you won't get your $20 now Gaia!

Here's an idea of what a re-bento Bunny could look like. :3

(feel free to make banners with it if you want)


Senjo_bunny
User Image
I sign.

I don't think that "bento bunnies" are that much of a original idea. And the Gaia version has three things in difference.Those would be the lack of blush, the tail and the pose of the legs. I say bring the original bento bunny back with a new pose!

Pink Unicorns Fly
I sign.
Actually the person claiming copyright seems to have stolen the ideia from somewhere but well -.-


Kimiko no Tenshi
I totally sign.

This is one instance Gaia should not have caved on. Girl doesn't have a leg to stand on.
We want our Bunny back!


xX Neku Sakuraba Xx
I wish to sign. I want my bento box back..


=]Discovery[=
i'm signing this!

that item should have never been removed just cause she thinks they stole her 'original' character :/


Tevokkia
I'll sign.

That kind of bunny is such a commonplace thing in Japan and among those who use similar styles that there can be no real copyright involved.


onisuu
I'll sign! ^ U ^
Seriously, I bet many people have doodled a similar bunny in their notebooks as well. > U >a;;;
But they're not claiming copyright infringement.


Xitrad
I sign. I wanted to get one of the little bunnies ;~;


Sorceress Rinoa VIII
I, Sorceress Rinoa VIII signs your petition.
It's not fair that the item had to removed because of some person
claiming copyright.


De Love Bug
I sign, I was gonna get GC this weekend to buy some for my dearest, only to have this happen gonk


Chi Hataya
I sign. There is no difference between the two bunnies, plus it's been used a lot, way before QoD was born. QoD is a load of bull. She copies items into merchandise like Sanrio and San-X. This shouldn't have happened! Bring bunny back, Gaia!~ We want our chopsticks and bento bunny! heart


Kouroneko
if gaia didnt think they were wrong, they wouldnt have taken it down.
sure, plenty of people have drawn rabbits just like it before, but she got it copyrighted first.
that copyright = you will never get that bunny
Lanzer personally apologized to her- you really think hed take it back? of course not.

personally i think the whole thing is stupid. you shouldnt be able to copyright something that is practically public domain..but i know when laws trump logic and this is certainly one of those times.

so i vote for a new bunny!


ayunas heart

I sign.


If you check her posts all you can find is her complaining how people steal her art, she knows she makes cute things and if you post things on the internet you should expect them to be stolen, but gaia didn't trace over her bunny, they DID create their own design, and she said in her dA journal she wouldn't mind if gaia re-designed it, why should they have to? Gaia probably worked harder on the item that she did on her silly little pixel. But, because gaia would probably get sued I add gaia should redesign the Bento Bunny (the bunny part) so we can have it back



Machi0Hanamori
I sign!

I'm dying for that bunny. Also, I LOVE the idea of an "I am" pose. I would spend so much gaia cash on it, just for that...


Paper Deer
I sign, especially for this whole 'I am' idea, I'd love that.


Cexil
I; CEXIL, HEREBY BESTOW UPON THIS OFFICIAL PETITION: MY SIGNATURE!


lanie100
sign even though I'm going to buy the sushi set, the bento bunny isn't original and therefore, gaia has the right to use it.

I will sign.
I would rather not buy an item "made" by Queen of Dorks.
Lets get a NEW item!

Maybe a... BENTO BEAR!
Or lets make a Bento Imp.
It is totally all Gaia imp right there.

Or, some Bento item of an already made Gaia character.
So then NO ONE can b***h. ; A ;
And we're moving to your heart this time
Release!
