I know there are a bunch of legalities involved but it doesn't make it right. I will do whatever I can to make it known (if she appears again) that she is doing this intentionally knowing that the work is clearly not her idea. She knows she was STEALING ideas...I mean they are almost identical. She even placed the same colors in the same spots. The only thing she didnt do is the same font in some, perhaps because she couldnt find it. She is clearly aware of what she was doing and that is the reason for her LACK of response to my emails & the emails from the other artists...as well as readers.Jen of MadeByGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16679479589202186024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3167493062012902048.post-28413804041474919332010-06-29T13:21:18.922-04:002010-06-29T13:21:18.922-04:00DIANA:

I've already sent them an email though I doubt they'll respond. If you want to take action talk to a lawyer that knows about copyright, unfortunately these laws don't really help too much and there are geographical limitations, so the fact that she's in canada actually could help her, as infuriating as that is, but I'm no lawyer and there's a lot more to this type of law that meets the eye. <br /><br />Still, they must have gotten a pretty strong response from people to disappear like that. nice.<br /><br />btw, love your designs.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14022689437905168617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3167493062012902048.post-53921613114528420962010-06-29T09:33:03.539-04:002010-06-29T09:33:03.539-04:00That's just disgusting - just because their co...That's just disgusting - just because their copies aren't identical doesn't make it any less wrong, they stole the ideas. <br />Off to write an email to them now.<br />If this was my work i'd just be so angry!Radiant Make Uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05101723781648047769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3167493062012902048.post-43398485276854894992010-06-29T01:53:22.239-04:002010-06-29T01:53:22.239-04:00Hi, I've only newly gotten to visit your blog ...Hi, I've only newly gotten to visit your blog a few short times recently, but this was just awfully tragic! I'm so sorry to hear it. (Yours, and the other artist's originals really are beautiful, btw)!<br /><br />I noticed that they didn't take the <i>very exact</i> originals to show and sell, they just obviously took the idea, colors, and layouts...which I fully agree is just as much the travesty. Though I was curious, in your looking into this, have you found what the laws do say about how similar something has to be to be copyright infringement? I'd always heard rumors that as long as 10% of something like logos, etc. were different, that they were legal. And then I saw a school change exactly 11 features of another sport team logo to stay legal recently. So I wondered if you were at all concerned that these people might not get their just punishment, since they tried to tweak a couple things? (Like, I thought it was funny to immediately notice the glaringly obvious and oft-overused Gill Sans as their copy-cat typeface of choice (with their bad leading and kerning), instead of the more creative and finely letterspaced one you used. :)<br /><br />Anyway, I hope you and the others are able to come out with a happy ending in all this, and the thieves their due justice as well.Krystal Wight Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16310610382345882173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3167493062012902048.post-33614748150751866862010-06-29T01:36:37.323-04:002010-06-29T01:36:37.323-04:00WOW!! arr that is so frustrating.

My grandma cross stitched me one of those and I was born in the 80s, long before you put those out. That's the only piece I wonder about... I promise I'm not saying you took the idea or something but on certain things that are so generic I wonder. They did take the idea from you (as proven by a billion other pieces exactly like yours that you showed they ripped off) so I'm not disputing that.
