Attn: ANTI-RECAST DOLL COLLECTORS
Today my doll collecting friends and I were alerted to the fact that currently on Google when you search for âbjdâ the top result is a known recast website.Â
The bjd-shop.com is a very popular website that uses images of dolls directly from the companies they steal from to sell their recast items. While they DO specify that their products are recast items, this fact is only made apparent in the FAQ section.
This means that people using google to look up BJDs receive their first impression from a recast website rather than one providing information about how to legally purchase BJDs. This severely limits their ability to make a properly informed choice.Â
Youâre probably wondering âHow is this legal? Surely we can file a take down notice!â The answer is no, this website is not legal, but neither can we the consumer directly contact google about the issue.
HOWEVER, representatives of the doll companies themselves CAN file a Legal Removal Request, as is their right! I implore each of you to email the BJD companies affected, urging them to exercise their right in removing this website from googleâs search results.Â
Iâm nobodyâs poet, but hereâs a template that you may use and a list of English website emails.Â

I am emailing you to ask that you please file a google web search take down notice for bjd-shop.com.
It distresses many of us that when the phrase âBJDâ is typed in google the first result that comes up is a website selling illegal recasts of your dolls and products. We feel it is damaging to your company and to all BJD collectors. For this reason we would like the website to be taken down from googleâs search results.
