Are you aware what you are doing is illegal? You can't sell a Home Simpson mug without proper licensing, for example.

Im not actually selling anything? You do no receive an actual mug shot of a star just have your name next to one. This is not illegal.

Why are people so against sites like this?

I dont understand the hate either. In casino or ponzi other players have to pay for the winner. Casino or site owner is not going to do this. Its not faucet. Then whats the difference between those two? Its just different play style. In casino you are loosing small to win big and in ponzi you are winning small hoping to not loose big. But the chances are the same.
 Also people dont even know how many ponzi schemes are in real world. Look at auctions. People are buying expensive old paintings or old cars and selling it later with profit. Paying really huge money for this. Why not jump them and say they are stupid? Or markets, or even housing. If value drops someone will be left with that bag.

I'm against the sites because all they really do is take advantage of newbies.  People come in here ready to invest money into BTC and go blind with the possibilities.

These "services" add nothing, where as the other things you mentioned like cars, paintings, houses are actual things that can be used when bought.

A value drop is not what defines a Ponzi scheme.
In Ponzi schemes it's certain that someone will lose, because there is no other way.

E.g. Buying an old painting isn't one. There are people with a lot of money that appreciate this art and want it.

Then you are against all gambling sites because they all are doing the same. There is really no difference between gambling and ponzi because in both games are losers and winners. As long as its not a scam that is.

These "services" add nothing, where as the other things you mentioned like cars, paintings, houses are actual things that can be used when bought.

Well some people like to play them, i dont know if you noticed. As for expensive paintings or old cars? They are often hidden in safe places like paintings or not used at all like old expensive cars. People are buying them because they know its price will rise because of limited amount. How is that different than ponzi scheme? I know you can still sell this with a loss but there are also chain games that refunds your virtual item if you wont sell it like this one btctreasure.com

Sorry but its not really true. I saw nice paintings that are very cheap only because its author is still alive or not known. Also someone can just paint another copy of expensive painting and it will be worthless. Why? Because something else is driving the price. To me this is exactly like ponzi scheme.

Sounds to me more like a tullip mania Wink
IMO not a ponzi though...

It is actually quite a cool concept. If you are able to constantly drive new traffic, it will always grow. And your userbase will also spread it as its in their best interest. On a side note, it falls into the Ponzi class yes.
