So here is the story.
Earlier this summer I began working on an Iron Man costume from plans that I found on 405.com (the Halo costume site) after about a moth of work I decided to sell it and cut my losses so I could start a new project.
4 days into the auction I get a message from another ebay member saying that the suit was built from her plans and I need to end the auction immediatly or she would take legal action.
So here are my questions:
1.) is there anything leagaly she could do? Seems to me she couldnt because the plans are for a character owned my Marvel
2.) What is the moral ground on this? I know if I took someones plans of props and remade them with the intent to sell that is pretty low of me. However, I would think that selling something I built off of plans that were in the public domain would be okay, especially since I only planned to build this suit once.
