Copyright theif making lots of money...

Post » Sat Jun 02, 2012 12:44 am

Just a heads up to whoever it may concern (legal team, copyright etc)

I like to buy tees from a site named redbubble.com, and right around the time of skyrims release, an "artist" (http://www.redbubble.com/people/darkside-shirts) posted a lot of skyrim designs for sale, and it's pretty obvious this is not an official seller and they are just flogged off artwork, his page shows he's almost only into selling skyrim merch and promoting it strongly, and his skyrim tees are into the top selling designs of all time on that site, hence he is making a lot of money ripping off bethesda... so yes, somebody should know or pass this onto the relevant copyright team or something? I couldn't find any section to report this clown sorry.

Seller: http://www.redbubble.com/people/darkside-shirts

His personal collection of stolen copyrighted material for sale, all organized too lol:
http://www.redbubble.com/people/darkside-shirts/collections/114087-elder-scrolls-v-s-k-y-r-i-m
http://www.redbubble.com/people/darkside-shirts/collections/114087-elder-scrolls-v-s-k-y-r-i-m?product_type=iphone-case

Top selling tees of all time (his skyrim rip on 4th row, hence hundreds of sales) http://www.redbubble.com/shop/top+selling+t-shirts?page=4

I did make an account to leave him some comments regarding his theft and asking him if he had permission etc... all deleted lol, usually after some [censored] smug remark too, no surprise.

There is a report button on all designs there but you have to be the actual copyright holder to file a DMCA report, so fans alone can't make reports :( but we can leave him comments of our thoughts? :P


Anyway I hope this may help stop illegal sellers cashing in on skyrims popularity, especially around xmas with huge sales too, it's an awesome game so I hate to see it exploited for personal gain.
But hey I may be wrong and he may be an actual skyrim merch seller? always a possibility lol

Peace.
Glenn.

Yeah, but I'll bet his stuff doesn't stop working for no reason. Seeing as it's clothing...and not a buggy mess of a game.

Not sure if they are licensed or not but if he's on the up and up that's some decent looking merch. If I were you I'd send an email to Bethesda via their customer service ticket thing but I don't care enough.

Why do I have this feeling we've just been advertised?

One thing you can do is just "report" your own post and put a description. You don't get in trouble for reports, they go straight to the mods and admins for review.

Another thing you can do is email gamesas.

Lastly, you can also click http://www.gamesas.com/ and send a pm to any name at the bottom of the page that has a funny color.

If I was a seller of ripped off skyrim merchandise, this is the last place I would advertise :P but I see your point.

True, some nice stuff, but almost everything there is stolen from wallpapers I'm guessing...
