Kineticist’s take
Don defends custom Elvira graphics against community backlash; credits DIY punk ethos, not forgery.
Synopsis
Don defends his customization of an Elvira House of Horrors Premium with custom graphics inspired by (but not copying) the 40th Anniversary Edition LE art, against criticism from community members including Mr. Kaneda's Pinball Podcast for what detractors see as trademark/copyright infringement. Don argues it's fair use parody for personal home use, rooted in DIY punk ethos, and emphasizes the decals are removable and the original art is preserved underneath. He also discusses positive social media interaction with Jersey Jack Pinball over gold aesthetic choices in Godfather CE.
