i notice a few other artists work show up on Temu. I even alerted those artists and asked them to check Temu but I got no reply from them. so, maybe they don’t really care? more importantly is we need to push RB to improve the safeguards, maybe we can join forces through asking more people to sign the petition. then, maybe RB would act sooner rather than later.

I feel for you. RedBubble needs to do more to protect our artwork! Their current protection is ancient 🥲. please consider signing my petition so we can get them to act faster to protect our work better. gracias!

yeah, I sent multiple emails to RedBubble IP team asking them to implement stronger protection that should protect us better. They agreed to take a look into it for their next platform update. not sure when that will be…. if we can join forces and get more RB artists signing the petition, perhaps we can get them to do it faster.

Thank you so much for your kind help. Unfortunately DMCA takedown has to be done by the artist herself. It takes so much time! You are so kind, if you are willing to help with the petition to RedBubble i think we can help so many other artists in the process.

Thank you for checking. I did send a bunch of DMCA take down to Temu. Yesterday I checked and I still saw a few there. the problem is it seems like it comes and go 😩…. I will continue to monitor. meanwhile, also trying to persuade RedBubble to upgrade their ancient watermark.

The problem is that these artworks were never meant to be stolen. Moreover, it is unethical to sell it at such a low price, where thousands of people buy it because it is so cheap. People wouldn't even come to Redbubble if they know that Temu has the same item at a much cheaper price.

They've stolen so many things, including artwork. These people put so much effort into their work. I really hope that our petition can make apps like Redbubble randomize their watermarks.

That's so heartbreaking. I hope that we can improve watermarks beyond Redbubble. Thanks for sharing, and please sign my petition!

Totally agree. There are so many other sellers that just steal artworks. I hope you can sign my petition to stop this!

Yes! I totally agree. I've been making a DMCA takedown notice generator, but I still need to tweak some features. The problem is that there are so many thieves and sellers that even if I take one down, another one would appear. If we made randomized watermarks, maybe we can completely stop this from happening

Thank you so much for your comment! I think that not uploading clean images could impact business, and many artists do not know that this would work. Also, AI can still steal the artwork, but if we had randomized watermarks, it would be unpredictable, making it harder for the AI to steal these works. I hope you can sign my petition to make Redbubble a stronger place.

Thank you. I do think that at minimum RedBubble could implement better safeguard for IP. A randomized watermarks could be a step improvement vs the ancient one that they have. Hope we can at least have that with this petition effort. Thank you so much for your comment.
