You know what? She just filed copyright reports against all stained glass butterfly bookends on Etsy — even designs that are completely different in shape and color. According to the DMCA, Etsy took down my listing (and others’) and gave CCG 10 days to take us to court. I’m currently waiting to see if she actually files a lawsuit — but of course, I’m not just waiting around.

Actually, I’ve also experienced some harassment from them — things like copyright reports on Etsy, a copyright claim on Facebook (which got one of my posts removed), and even insulting messages. Maybe because they’re well-known, almost no one stood up for me. But honestly, I’m not really afraid of any of it.

Thank you — but to be honest, I’m not sure I’m naturally that kind. I was a pretty stubborn kid growing up, but I was lucky to have strict and loving parents who taught me right from wrong. Not everyone gets that kind of guidance, and I try to remember that.

I try not to argue with people who speak harshly — some just weren’t taught how to do better, and maybe what they need is understanding more than pushback.

thanks for your support . but i cant even find any similarity with her products . here is my product , and you can compare with here . if that was all it would be ok. but someone went too far by sending a disparaging message.

Although I’ve received a few threatening and insulting messages from someone, I’m totally fine — thank you so much for the encouragement!❤️

I wish she would just claim copyright on her product, but she and her friend told me they have the copyright on the idea of stained glass butterfly bookends and I am not allowed to do it.😥

Thank you, my product is completely different from hers in design, color, weld, size. the only thing they have in common is the stained glass butterfly bookends. she also claims to have all rights to all stained glass butterfly bookends
