Hey look, more Threadless Rip-offs!

MeTee.com

Most of these are shirt.woot tees, but they're also selling a few Threadless designs.

Thought I'd let the justice squad have at it

Holy crap! Untitled has only been out for like 10 days!

That must be a record.

AdderXYU on Jun 09 '09 at 4:05pm

The best part is, they've got a few of the underscored "Alumni and staff picks". Apparently random thieves really like them, too!

Kookaberry on Jun 09 '09 at 4:07pm

They even ripped off Three Wolf Moon:

The I heart NY one is pretty ballsy. Apparently NYC is very aggressive in protecting that design.

i like the "Amiercan Idol" American Idol shirt the best.

Mya Jamila on Jun 09 '09 at 4:11pm

AND SPOILT

and many others

COMMUNIST PARTY

wow

Bio-bot 9000 on Jun 09 '09 at 4:22pm

I do like this one, however.

TheInfamousBaka on Jun 09 '09 at 4:23pm

I like how they didn't even change the titles.

professorE on Jun 09 '09 at 4:23pm

Instead of waiting for Threadless reprints, I'm going to use this site for instant gratification.

Maybe I should upload all of Corey's designs...

jillustration on Jun 09 '09 at 4:26pm

Uh communist party is the #1 selling shirt of all time from threadless. They are going to get their butts kicked if they don't take that one down.

Bio-bot 9000 on Jun 09 '09 at 4:27pm

Dude, I hope this entire site gets shut down!

It doesn't even appear that the designers get any cut of the profts, so basically MeTees is making huge profits anytime someone uploads an image of Bart Simpson and buys the shirt.

I like how they didn't even change the titles.

Why change the titles? Then no scam artist could find a shirt and print it off XP

professorE on Jun 09 '09 at 4:35pm

I just set up an account under the name Arthur Thief.

Bio-bot 9000 on Jun 09 '09 at 4:49pm

but, you can change the size and placement of the designs!

Like Flowers in the Attic? Now you can have it 3 inches tall on the back of your shirt!

professorE on Jun 09 '09 at 4:59pm

lol @ what people are uploading

Bio-bot 9000 on Jun 09 '09 at 5:03pm

fuck, i forgot to upload mine as Anonymous.

JadenKale on Jun 09 '09 at 5:26pm

ROFL these are great!

professorE on Jun 09 '09 at 5:37pm

It seems they are taking some down. My goatse shirt is no longer there.

JadenKale on Jun 09 '09 at 5:47pm

ROFLMFAO I've been blocked.

professorE on Jun 09 '09 at 5:49pm

hhaahahaha - my first two are still up.

xiv on Jun 09 '09 at 5:49pm

eames for the win.

Bio-bot 9000 on Jun 09 '09 at 6:32pm

Food Groups!!! is still up. Did you see the full shirt?

Torakamikaze on Jun 09 '09 at 6:42pm

bahahahaha EAMES yes

professorE on Jun 09 '09 at 6:45pm

^that one was mine!

V1ctorya on Jun 09 '09 at 6:47pm

The levar burton one rocks.

Bio-bot 9000 on Jun 09 '09 at 6:53pm

I was starting to flag their designs, maybe even write a letter, but now I kind of want to see their asses get handed to them. Maybe if we all notify the respective parties...

JadenKale on Jun 09 '09 at 7:01pm

I believe that's been done, Bio-bot. I know I contacted woot, and I believe someone here contacted Threadless, since those shirts are also down.

Bio-bot 9000 on Jun 09 '09 at 7:05pm

true. it looks like their shitty selection has been reduced from 7 pages to 5. It's very possible that some are legitimate, original artwork, and those people should be praised. But I don't trust this site at all.
