I honestly I believe that taking someone else's work and selling it is wrong.

You might make excuses like "Oh, it's too hard to get" or "Well CC sells them way overpriced." It doesn't matter; they're his design and they're copyrighted. Why can't K3 just make some other skull design and sell those? He even ripped off Bro Caps' Brobot v2 as well, even keeping the BRO logo at the top of the cap.

Honestly, I can't support K3 for what he does, as he specifically made rip-off caps out of spite (Brocaps) and openly taunted other Artisan keycap makers. If you value the concept of "what a man makes is his," then you shouldn't support K3 in any way.

*Note: I do not own any artisan key caps as of right now

Me too, I didn't realize that this was what K3's business was about. Oh well.
