Now, this of course not the first time threadless has had this type of issue before, but this one seemed to be relevant to some recent discussion on protecting your work, so I thought it would be interesting to discuss here. How do you think threadless handled it? Do you think it was copyright infringement? Can we have a cool discussion about this without drama? __________________ Rodney Blackwell T-Shirt Links Directory ~ T-Shirt Countdown [...] [...] threadless and copyright infringement: a discussion :) I first read about this on PreShrunk.info: Threadless Deals With Plagiarism Then I read about the "resolution" of it at threadless: Threadless T-Shirts – What exactly happened with Tagged?

How can anyone think he can submit a design to threadless and it won't be spotted as stolen. This is so naive.

Also, I think the design with the devil and angel or whatever boxing was stolen. They were both taken from pretty ancient books, but it was cheaitng nonetheless.

Great. Maybe I should go plagarise now. Wow. The hypocrisy in this world." V, the "designer" did not receive any prize money for ripping off the design. She formally apologized, and the prize was given to the original designers. “well, what’s done is done isn’t it? though it is the designers fault, he shouldn’t have copied, and he got $2000 dollars for copying.

I think they ended up just buying the stock photo to deal with that one. Outbreak Girl (http://www.threadless.com/product/73/Outbreak_Girl) was jacked from a non-licensed stock photo.
