My designs were up on it. I contacted the owner & with in an hour my designs were taken down. Check to see if your work is there. PROTECT YOUR WORK!!

I've found quite a few and have also contacted the owners. I've decided thought the best thing to do is first fill out the copyright infringement letter to the Etsy legal dept. with links to their shop and your images. If the shop owner takes it down first, Etsy will DO NOTHING to them. They won't even communicate with them about it as they consider the issue resolved. Also make sure you take screen shots of everything first so you have proof. These people just deactivate the listing after you contact them, then wait and reactivate it again later!

Thanks for the info Schatzi, we need the S6 crew to help them creat a secure system for the Artist, i think a water mark provided its a good defense,ww need to sugest this in a big number to act something to protect us.

Yes so many of this share this thought, but S6 has yet to act on it.
