hettinger_rl Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I'm adding this here in an effort to get some board memebers' help in stopping 2 ebay sellers: johnrockafella and thesepatchesaremakingmethirsty These sellers have been taking images of mine as well as other posters and making "new old stock" iron on patches. I feel like if enough people turn them in to ebay VeRO then we may get them to stop. Here are some of the items I recognized: http://www.ebay.com/itm/UCI-UC-Irvine-Anteaters-Vintage-Embroidered-Iron-On-Patch-NOS-3-0-x-3-0/112559315542?hash=item1a350eda56%3Ag%3AanEAAOSwax5Yres4 http://www.ebay.com/itm/University-Of-Michigan-Wolverines-Vintage-Embroidered-Iron-On-Patch-3-5-X-3-/192299088171?hash=item2cc5eb392b:g:Q2YAAOSwlXhZZAe0 http://www.ebay.com/itm/USD-University-Of-South-Dakota-Coyotes-Vintage-Embroidered-Iron-On-Patch-3-X-2-/192298972229?hash=item2cc5e97445:g:~bAAAOSwGrFZh48L http://www.ebay.com/itm/UCI-UC-Irvine-Anteaters-Vintage-Embroidered-Iron-On-Patch-NOS-3-0-x-3-0/202052224522?hash=item2f0b40460a%3Ag%3AcEoAAOSwux5YOKv3 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Carolina-Panthers-vintage-embroidered-iron-on-logo-patch-3x3-AWESOME-A1-/192246061647?hash=item2cc2c21a4f:g:DcMAAOSwoydWkAeS Things like this can't be taken lightly! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, yeah if someone would walk into the Louvre (or any gallery) and take pictures of the art, then print them and sell them as their own (without permission) people would flip out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you see the Description and Shipping & Payments section look to the right hand side of the screen and there's a Report Item link. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Billy Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 wow. I can at least mentally grasp some schmuck stealing designs to make money on the internet. But a public high school? Crap, this one is easy. Send the C&D immediately. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I have a question, why not leave them use it and then report it? I mean this is 100% the same, so they'll pay the damages etc... I had this question in mind as I don't know what to do, leave them use it etc and attack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Financial restitution in these situations is tough because civil court requires proof of both wrongdoing and resulting damages... especially dealing with a public school... a simple cease and desist is probably most realistic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Tough getting anything from a public school district as they have governmental immunity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VC// Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 BMA - The problem is that he/she shouldn't have to worry about posting their work on a portfolio site/art display site and have idiots try to steal it for their own gain. It's shameful really, I had something I did for someone get lifted and I honestly had zero idea it was stolen until someone here had pointed it out, I was really thankful for that, the part that got me angry was the whole "Look what I made" the made part...that person lifted 100% of the work and then tried to pass it off as their own work. I wish there was a better way to protect the work, even in the 2nd slide, anyone with even basic Illustrator skills could copy & lift that logo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Htown1141 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I know this isn't a logo, but still. My poorly done gimp experiment MLB: Hot Hands had a thing stolen of Kris Bryant for a YouTube thumbnail. I know this isn't a big thing or whatever but it's still annoying and I'm pissed and this is pretty much the only community that understands 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
