"Everything that's been used commercially are illegal. I never allowed anyone to use my photos in such way, except for the wigs on 'CosEdition'.
If I were to earn money with cosplay, i would have opened my own shop and allowed every proposal to use my clothes in TV as a P.R, wouldn't I? Yes, I sell my used costumes in private transactions or exchange them in second-hand store. But I wouldn't consider that as 'commercial use', because I think it's not. I'm no more than a person who wants to cosplay as a pleasant hobby.
I'm very sorry how something I have posted with good intentions came out like this. I hope everything turns out well as I want to continue cosplay with a light heart. Thanks for your concerns." -Tomia
This is Tomia's official (translated) statement last March regarding the illegal usage of her Elsa photos in online ads. We're reposting it as a reminder because we've received a few reports (again) from those who missed the bitter history. We hope this satisfies your curiosity.
