Question: How do you report a Plagiarism?

I was browsing through the scoring designs section on Threadless the other day, when I saw someone had taken a picture that I had seen on Deviantart and submited it as their own. I notified the artist but we couldn't figure out how we coud report it. Is there a button or something we could use?

Here's the submission: http://www.threadless.com/submission/148865/Cloud_City#lastcomment

Here's the original: http://cronos2006.deviantart.com/art/punks-not-dead-57582757

Please help thankyou!

Here's a good place to start. Or contact threadless directly. Or ask on the blog.

oh snaps. you can contact threadless and let them know, and they'll do what they decide is best. but usually people will just flame the design where said plagiarism took place and the poster will get their comeuppins that way :)

I know you said you contacted this artist, but did they respond and confirm that they dont have the design posted on both sites?

Neko Pastry on Feb 03 '08 at 8:08pm

Yes, and they didn't know how to contact Threadless. I emailed them so hopefully they will deal with it.

i remember scoring this design, but now the link above does not work, so it looks like threadless took care of it :)

Even if it would have been the same artist, the shirt was already available on another site..

All about me

Hey, I'm Lexi. I am currently trying to find time to work on some design ideas, but I'm usually pretty busy, so I'm not so sure when exactly I will. I am in fact female, and I am also kind of short.

For my interests... I like art, the Earth, Italian food, plushies, chocolate, video games, um... A lot of things. My favorite band is Say Anything, and I plan to do everything when I grow up :D
