I just saw something about Redbubble.Com come across my dash and I just had a knee jerk reaction and had to post something.

You have probably seen the @silversprocket artwork on tumblr. Like the cute sloth that says “nap all day. Sleep all night. Party never.” or “I want all the cats to love me best” there are more I see on tumblr all the time without attribution.

My buddies at Silver Sprocket Bicycle Club have been battling the unaccountable print-on-demand business on Redbulle for years. They have sent over 50 DCMA take down requests and redbubble doesn’t care because they have created a system where the artist who uploads the art is accountable, not them.

If redbubble actually cared about artists they would add a program that is free to their website that would check with artwork as it is uploaded to see if it matches any DCMA requests they have received, but they won’t. They make too much money off of stolen art to do that. Instead of being accountable for the art on their site they make artists go after whoever uploaded the art.

They know what they are doing as I’ve even see redbubble ads on Facebook WITH THE STOLEN ART! I’ve even see free stickers sent with redbubble orders that contain redrawn sloths very similar to the stolen one.

It’s really gross. Don’t support redbubble.
