The problem with copying art, is as long as you aren't trying to pass it off as the original, and you do it by hand instead with a machine it is legal.



There are an aweful lot of t-shirts submitted here that are obviously "Inspired" from elsewhere.



I dont know if this shirt is actualy an original or not it may have been "inspired from elsewhere also who knows.

whut



-- you mean to say if I hand write a Stephen King novel, I can then sell it as my own? I draw Bugs Bunny and use it however I want? I can redraw anything and it's my own?



There is such a thing as intellectual property as well as service marks and such. Your comment is wrong.

also, they aren't giving credit to Threadless, so they basically are passing it off as their own.

I don't know they seem to have other things bestides shirts like remote controls, and USB devices and watches, also I see several brands on the shirts.



I dont think they make them, I think they are resellers, I see at least four marked brand names of shirts.

...well, they may not make the products themselves, but they are selling pirated products either way, which is not cool.

WHAATT!? They have a version of one of my tees!

So what does this ripoff of my design say on the back? Is it a name?

i'm buying this

and this

i'm confused. does that shirt mean "i'm OK because i smoke weed" or "i'm OK on that joint; i'm totally stoned already"?

it means multiple things to many people.

Seriously can you make out that name on my stolen shirt?

looks like it says U Fledged

Wm Fledged?

no, it says Un Fledged.



google it and you'll find more bootleg shirts!

...are you saying you can't read your own writing, Mr. William Fledged?



jk

oh

thanks.

This is so dumb.

why are they not lying in ruins yet?

They took my shirt down....The company I sold it to sent them a cease and desist order last night I guess.

yeah... I thought it looked gone...



-- but T'less designs are still up there...

Wow, I stirred up a bit of dust.

...how are the Threadless designs still up there?



Staff! oh, Staff...!

YEah, thanks for the heads up dude!

I...do not understand this sentence. If you're copying something, aren't you trying to replicate the original? Or have I known the wrong definition of "copy" all my life?

The one at Shirtoid (here) is not stolen, but instead is linking back to the original here on Threadless.

How is the rip off version shirt still up for sale?!?

hahaha smokemon
