Damn this is very bad. I'd say pull the design right now. If t-less can give some credits and dough to the original designers they can start selling it again, right?

Thievery sucks!

christ, why not give this money to the original artists. the threadless crew have always tried to avoid this type of BS. oh well, the only twit that should be apologizing is the shit bricker who ripped it to begin with...uber ryan's little brother

I seriously don't see what there is to think about right now for threadless - they KNOW the shirt design is stolen. They should have taken the shirt down straight away. Shouldn't be too much work. And once they can work something out with the original artists they can possibly sell the design again...
radiostaticstar

just for kicks, google shemala, but be warned of page 4...

ross's comment was at almost 10pm

that's way past when they close I'm sure. This will all be settled in a few hours. My guess is the person who did the little drawing will gladly take $1500 cash and prizes.

The "Uberryan brother" alibi is a classic!

And this is different from the Def Leppard issue because that wasn't stolen. The band and specifically the drummer found it very offensive that's why the staff still sold some of it before they pull it down. This is a different issue. It is a stolen art and the original artist wasn't happy about it and demands Threadless to remove it from the listing. They don't even need the credits nor the payment, they want it off the site.

Sad, I really like the design. Well whattya know.
radiostaticstar
radiostaticstar on Dec 12 '06 at 4:38am
yeah i'll be really curious to see if the original artist will be down for licensing it to threadless...
jpiatt
   jpiatt on Dec 12 '06 at 4:39am
kaloyster....I've seen you say that twice now. Where are you getting this info that the artist doesn't want it on the site?
From the comments on that youthoughtwewouldntnotice.com site?
"on 12 Dec 2006 at 6:47 am n.
The original owners are not willing to license this design to Threadless,
and want it removed from the site.
Neither artist has yet been contacted by Threadless."


That's just a comment someone left. You have no idea who it really is. I could leave a comment there saying I'm you if I wanted to.
Legoman
Legoman on Dec 12 '06 at 4:45am
apperently reading the blog on the other site the original artist doesnt want it to be on here anymore and wotn license it so wants it taken down :s
jpiatt
   jpiatt on Dec 12 '06 at 4:48am
What other site?...
if so, Uh oh!

I can't stand this design (probably cause it's just a livetraced pile of shit and the angle of the picture that it was livetraced from is terrible) so I don't really care either way. It sucks for people that bought it though and obviously the person who did this is a complete jackoff.

hey, jake here from threadless. i was just made aware of this situation and want to give you all my assurance that we will handle this properly.

the designer will not be paid and the design will either be removed or licensed from the original designer if they are willing.

give us a couple days to sort the details.


From the linked blog at the top of the thread.

i like the one guy that said how could threadless let this one slip, like they have the magic ability to search all images in the world to make sure no ones done it before. doofus

Copied and pasted from Threadless' Legal Terms that you must agree too prior to hitting the SUBMIT button:

The Design must be the participant's own original work and may not have been previously published. The Design may not contain the trademarks, logos, copyrighted works or intellectual property of any third parties, or any material, which Threadless.com in its sole discretion deems to be profane or offensive.

   kaloyster on Dec 12 '06 at 9:12am
Yep. mezo laid down the cards and the game is over.

jpiatt: yeah i read it on the artist's own site.

just proves that the threadless sheep will like anything with some lame ass hipsters on it. for shame. so glad i scored this crap designed low to begin with.
pinup-artist
pinup-artist on Dec 12 '06 at 10:55am
oh and it isnt threadlesses fault that idiots gave this crap a 2.72 score. 2.7!! insane. but there are plenty of designs that score that high that dont get printed so who knows.

homage is reference, not a carbon copy...COPY.

the staff still has these jackets up for sale...i'd donate them to the goodwill or something really honest instead of making lots of money offa them when MEZO's repost of the threadless LAW says it all.

glad they finally removed this.
