Fallout 4 furniture real life?

Beth just ripped off real-life stuff for the most part - indeed it is amazing how many artists paid to craft ORIGINAL designs secretly refer to their stash of art, image and design sources, and simply copy something they think no-one will notice.

 

But the furniture thing is becoming REALLY interesting. As part of being in the EU, Britain just adopted a law recognising artistic rights in design 'patents'. This means that technically, FO4 is ILLEGAL in the EU unless Beth pays for the rights to use the item designs it has copied from real-life objects, unless those objects are old enough to have expired their IP rights.

 

Prior to adopting this law, furniture makers in the UK could sell their own 'inspired by' copies of designs made by other companies/artists. Indeed the new law is so bad, it even applies to images of new buildings in the photographs you take. And since the US Congress has taken significant pay-offs from Disney and other media corporations to immorally increase copyright durations to the point where they may as well be infinite, the EU is going to happily follow the trend. Remember that recording of rock-n-roll music from the early 60s and before was about to become public domain under EXISTING copyright laws before powerful British musicians paid off the UK government to retrospecively change the law.
