China doesn't see picture stealing as a crime. They do it all the time. It sucks though and hopefully with enough complaints they may pull them to stop being aggravated. Sorry they stole your pictures...but it's a compliment too...they like your work ;)



But this isn't *just* stealing a photo or even taking credit for creating the pony.  This is trying to *sell* an item that they don't even have!

They recreate them...I asked. Said it may differ slightly. So they are stealing the pictures because they like the pony and can re-create it. To them, they are doing nothing wrong but I did report them too.

If they do actually recreate them(I am sorry but I just doubt it), I would be really interested to see one of these "remakes". I can only assume it is NO where near as good or detailed at the pictured pony.

I have reported them as well. It is possible for you have a direct chat with a person from taobaonow and they can communicate to the seller directly for you. They are SUPER nice and will usually do anything you ask.
Current wantlist:
Sandcastles and Shovels, UK G3 Snow'el (loose), Splish, Splash and Splosh, Sunbright Family

Ask what I have for sell or trade! Have G1 merch? Sell unto meeee :D

So they recreate them? That is wrong on so many levels.
I don't have a taobao account, but it would be a good idea for someone to order one, just to see what they end up with. I don't believe in stealing someones art, recreating it and selling it as your own, but I too would like to see exactly what they are repoducing and selling, I'm sure the customizers whose art was stolen would also like to see as well...
