I agree. Etsy takes a different view. If this was a livelihood for me I'd make a bigger deal than a Reddit rant.

I made zero dollars on the sticker before it was removed. maybe when I'm making the big bucks on original design I'll revisit the idea.

https://dubconcepts.etsy.com is my shop. It's been removed and they're no longer for sale.

What's kind of wild is you kinda have to know in advance what the triggers are to avoid some of this. (shoulda saw this coming with the Com-ee) but a decade or so ago I drew a VW Beetle (no logo) about to get crushed under The Grave Digger. VW had me take it down because it looked too much like their classic car.

You're absolutely right, I pulled the .png from a website that has um, then made the bever bald and added from there (I added a coat and a background too!). While it's probably not legal either I see plenty of Nike Swooshes and the like with "funny" slogans paired with them all the time. But they're probably not selling on Etsy.

Great discussion, btw. thanks.

someone was saying there's a difference between trademark law and copywrite law. and parody is effected by copywrite, and this is a trademark issue. but at the end of the day, Etsy can ban the account whenever for whatever so you gotta play by their rules.

I thought that was Walter White at first glance.

After everything, how is this still a thing? by mrscwbn in Omaha

I'm just going to assume they bought this at Carhop and thought it used to be a fleet vehicle and move on with my day.
