That's A Rip! (xiv's brainchild)
Tired of scoring those designs with stolen images? Post 'em here so others will know what to look out for!!!
Found something that isn't a direct rip but is heavily influenced by a design already found on Threadless? Post it as well so people can make an educated decision. :)
Update: November 2, 2011
I've compiled a list of the user names found in this blog; I did NOT include those names which legitimately did not realize their error and have since redeemed themselves. I know some names are missing, as the links don't go anywhere anymore. I'm not going to link these, as it would take me forever; one can use the search function. :)

FlyingMonkeyMan
weird* heheh..
mechanicalrobotpower
I forgive you
Musarter
I feel so duped; I actually scored the Razorback one decently. I looked less stock like than the bulldog one.
mechanicalrobotpower
My favourite part is where he thought it would be awesome to call out the other guy, ..when it's more likely he just used the same stock image

FlyingMonkeyMan
GAH I was looking for that ripped rip pic
mechanicalrobotpower
There's still a couple of his entries left, feel free!
FlyingMonkeyMan
Alright then, I got some This and this
were both used in this
Wasn't dedicated enough to find the headphones though. =)
mechanicalrobotpower
Hahaha good job!
FlyingMonkeyMan
so that leaves 2 of his now 6 subs left as ok...for the moment.
mechanicalrobotpower
You have no idea how many cartoon tigers i've seen in the last ten minutes.
...enough to kill a man
FlyingMonkeyMan
lol yeah, don't try looking for 'smile headphones' either. Hundreds of generic people enjoying having headphones on

Who needs to actually draw when you can just make stock collages?

Zomb Design by sampoli29 Comment: Zomb is an original, vector style zombie!
Tutorial used
mechanicalrobotpower
Tutorial used and uploaded direct result I should say, ...didn't use the tutorial to upskill and utilize in their own ideas, ..just submitted direct result.
mechanicalrobotpower
Also, This james101681 is still at it! AT LARGE!! He's now accusing others of stealing his ideas, ..when he's just mashed Stock illustrations together.
He said this to another member on a design who took the time to draw his own up...
Really.... If you look at this link you will see I already submitted a design with the headphones as a smiley face. Concept was stolen... All you did is put it in a circle and change the headphones. This really stinks. Please create something original and not taken from someone else's idea... Thank you http://beta.threadless.com/ampitup/i-love-music-headphone-smiley-face/
When he's just slapped something together from others' work
He needs shutting down.

Wow...what a giant ego. It makes me throw up in my mouth lol
Ryder Revolution
oh god... i hate this james guy already...
squintygirl
This is why I miss the ZERO.
Ryder Revolution
seems like there should be a "report" button or something, instead of just having to use this blog
squintygirl
I'd also like a 'shame on you', button. Maybe it could call the offenders mom with the message 'Your son/daughter is a disgrace. You must be very disappointed.'
mechanicalrobotpower
and a little nozzle in their computer emits a cloud of general discomfort that follows them around for three to four weeks.
mechanicalrobotpower
Japsolutely.
ivanrodero
Yes, Threadless needs a shame button.
squintygirl
lol @ cloud of discomfort
FlyingMonkeyMan
aw man, he hasn't stopped yet?
mechanicalrobotpower
Well, he's currently getting away with most of his crimes FMM, ..those college subs and headphones design are still up.
FlyingMonkeyMan
well poop.

And it's gone!

Uh oh. (see the first comment)
TheInfamousBaka
Uh oh indeed. Think they'd give him some compensation?

Crazy. I always wonder what happens after when things get ripped successfully. They should make a reality show about it.

Now this.
In other news I finally found a substitute for "great work!"... "Your --- design is going to be a smashing hit in the design trend!"

what did i miss?

^This. It was printed but looks like it was pulled from the catalog for now at least. It turned out that the animal heads were copied from another artist's work.

Forget the cloud of general discomfort. It should emit mustard gas!
