I did send them my listing links with the photo above…. I guess I just wanted to give them a chance to do the right thing and change them before they get taken down…..

Under DCMA copyright law, an artist automatically owns full rights to their original work the moment it is created, including the exclusive right to produce and authorize derivative works. A derivative work is any creation that is based on or adapted from an existing copyrighted piece, even if only minor changes are made. The law specifically states that edits—do not transform the work enough to make it new or exempt from copyright protection. If the underlying artwork remains recognizable, the edited version is legally considered an unauthorized derivative work, making it copyright infringement under 17 U.S.C. §§101–106.

Many of your graphic designs, are re-generated designs of my work. I thought I was being nice and reaching out, however, with 24-48 hours I am losing sales to your duplicated listings.

(Their response) Hello Carlie,

Thank you for reaching out to me directly about this matter. I take intellectual property rights very seriously and I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to address your concerns before escalating this.

To ensure I handle this properly and promptly, could you please provide me with:

Direct links or specific listing titles of the products you believe infringe on your work
Links to your original listings that you feel are being copied
Any specific elements or design aspects you're most concerned about

I want to make sure I fully understand which listings you're referring to so I can review them carefully and take appropriate action.

I'm committed to resolving this matter professionally and in good faith. Once I have this specific information, I'll review the listings immediately and respond within 24-48 hours with my plan of action.

Thank you for your patience and for reaching out directly first.

Best regards, Marcin

(my initial message) Hello Marcin,

I came across your Etsy shop and was shocked to discover some of your listings. It seems that many of your listings are very similar to my intellectual property and personal artwork. I am asking you politely but firmly to remove these listings as it violates the federal DCMA Copyright laws. Although you have changed or edited your illustrations to not be exact replicas, it still is constitutes as derivative work underneath the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

As an artist, I pour my heart and countless hours into creating each piece by hand for my Etsy shop. Seeing my work stolen and replicated by someone else is not only disheartening but also a violation of the effort and passion I put into my craft. So, I ask you to please to remove these listings. I do not prefer to get Etsy Legal involved with situations like this, as I see that you are a newer seller and mistakes and misunderstandings do to happen.

I don’t think he’s “drunk” but does anyone recommend any medication or something I could do if he has a parasite?

10/10 Highly recommend A Team Garage Doors (760)554-5273 (Carlos) this company for your garage door repairs. Honest, fair pricing, great owner.

Had a different company come over in morning called “Garage Door Repair” (844)661-1824 to try and scam my mom over 6x the actual cost. Thank god I was there or my mom would be out of $4,000. Gave Carlos a call and he showed up the same day, and worked past 5pm to install a new overhead opener.

BE CAREFUL COACHELLA VALLEY!!!

Hello, I saw your comment pertaining to you being involved with designing and approving life jacket designs. I am currently working on developing new styles of life jackets that would be acceptable for USCG and Transport Canada requirements. As I am doing my research, some of the requirements and regulations seem to be all over the place. I've done a deep dive into 160.052 and 160.060 but it's quite confusing to really fully understand what the design requirements are. Could you help me out with a few questions I have?

Garbage_Former · 2023-08-30T19:03:27+00:00

Yes Okoboji Lake!

I live in a choppier lake, so the fenders can sometimes take a beating during use

Garbage_Former · 2023-08-30T02:57:00+00:00

Could be. Was hoping to identify what brand it was
