no it's ironic because the person who submitted this design to threadless, stole the design from someone else

oh, no im pretty sure the company stole from threadless, because this shirt was from quite a while ago...i think it's retired

oh geez simpler terms. This shirt was made on threadless, but it turned out the artist STOLE the design and won and was printed, so threadless retired it because putaymo (or something like that) originally did the shirt.



Now this company is stealing a shirt from threadless, that threadless quit printing because it was stolen from somewhere else... get it.

if that's true...wow...the complexities of thievery are astounding

Try this one more time:

The "designer" Stuck with Pins, submitted this to threadless, and it won. Around October in...I think 2005, someone found out that Stuck with Pins actaully copied the design from someone else. Now they don't reprint the shirt anymore, because A. it offended alot of people. and B. it was a stolen design.

it is true... re read all the comments with that new bit of information and it will all make sense.



So technically that site is stealing from putamayo (or whatever) not threadless.

geeeez, it doesn't pay to steal because it confuses me...

Yeah. They also stole the KFC "So he killed your dad" one and the eye chart "If you can read this you don't need glasses etc" What a shitty site. I bet those Red Bull tees aren't licensed either.



Why am I trawling the retired tees blogs? No one cares.
