Iris has Wings

Iris Smits wonders: “Is it ethical for a larger business to come along and dupe a small business, especially a small, female-founded business?”

By dupe she means sell a similar product, where the consumer can only tell the difference between the original and the copy by the trademark and copyright material on the box, but also doesn’t care because the product does pretty much the same thing (in Iris’s case, a stamp for Cleopatra-style eyeliner wings around the eyes).

If Iris had her way, there would be only one small pizza shop in the world, female-operated somewhere in Napoli.
