Art Theft - A little help...
16 years ago
Kuma Chan has just brought this to my attention, someone is selling items on CafePress.com using a pic I drew a few years back as a gift for him: http://shop.cafepress.co.uk/design/18833178
Suffice to say, I have just sent the site an email informing them of this and asking them to remove the items. However, it seems the same guy is selling numerous items with pics from a variety of artists, and I doubt very much that he has permission from any of them.
So, first off, DO NOT buy anything from this bastard who's trying to make some quick cash by stealing and selling someone else's work. But please take a look at his stuff and see if you recognise any of the images he is using: http://www.cafepress.co.uk/wimmer_tommy
If you do recognise anything, please get in touch with the artist of that image and suggest that they get in touch with CafePress.com to have them removed (after some looking on their site, this seems to be the email address for them to contact: trademark[at]cafepress.com ).
Hopefully we can get this bastard shut down quickly...

I found the stuff as I looked up Sumo after seeing what Swine Flu shirts people had made, its the way the guy didn't even CROP your URL off the pic he ripped, WTF
Those artists don't deserve to have their work treated like that.
I even remember that pic from a while ago. It doesn't deserve that treatment.
Here's the link, in case curious:

Yeah, some sort of punishment must be rendered to this person. If any of the used materials have already been sold, he should the appropriate artist should be paid/compensated.
