I am so sad to have been made aware today that my art was STOLEN and made into patches and appliques by a company in The Netherlands. My art is above, their copy is below.
Yes, it's even worse that they turned out so cute! I am going to attempt to sue them, but honestly, it's so difficult and expensive, and since they are in The Netherlands it's going to be even more difficult! So crappy!!!
Wow they didn't even use it as inspiration but just plainy copy pasted. Where's the creativity? If you do want to email them or anything, i used to live in the Netherlands, Dutch is my native language, i can help you translate things if you want. Like texts on their website or such. Let me know if you need help. I don't know about sue-ing issues though. And check out this site: http://youthoughtwewouldntnotice.com/ it happens a lot!
Wow, thanks so much for the offer! I am going to write them a letter, but if I don't get a response, I will definitely ask for some translation help. Thanks again!!
That is so unfair! And they copied it to a tea! Bastards!
ReplyDeleteCan you somehow claim the copyright on the design?
On an upside - they are sooo cute!
Oh that's awful! They're so evil. Those are indisputably your exact designs. Can you sue them?
