The Ever Changing Game

So why is defending copyright such a tedious process? Here’s yet another t-shirt design advertised on Facebook on 5/25 for a campaign on Teechip. But this time around something is different.

When clicking through the ad, the campaign page on Teechip no longer has a link to report the campaign. Instead, you have to follow the DMCA (digital millennium copyright act) link at the bottom of the page to get an email to report the copyright infringement in a completely different way.

Because we deal with this so often, we have standard boilerplate to send in for all of these printing companies. But this illustrates how Teechip makes it difficult for artists to report copyright. They are an unethical business that hides behind safe harbor provisions of copyright law and profits from unreported copyright violation.
