Etsy Art Thieves - Stanley of Fast Print Shirts

 Etsy Art Thieves -- Stanley of Fast Print Shirts

Etsy encourages art thieves by not vetting what these thieves sell on Etsy and by ignoring DMCA takedown notices.

Today's featured Etsy Art Thief is Stanley of Fast Print Shirts.  Here he is offering shirts featuring the art work stolen from Aaron Kuehn.  This is Aaron's Skeleton Typogram, which can be seen here:

Aaron Kuehn is the sole creator and sole owner of the copyright on The Skeleton Typogram.  He has never given anyone a license to engage in commercial sales of his art works.  

Here is Stanley's Etsy shop on which he engages in selling stolen art:

Oh look who bought the stolen art -- Kelly Hollabaugh and Olivia Mahoney.  They like the shirts with the stolen art!

And where is Stanley, the Art Thief?

This is supposedly Stanley.  He looks pretty casual for a person who steals the art and livelihood from other people.

This is what Etsy says about Stanley's Fast Print Shirt:

This Copyright infringement has been reported to Etsy MANY times and Etsy simply ignores it, makes up excuses, tries to throttle take-down notices, etc.  Etsy is complicit in art theft and copyright infringement.

Etsy began as an online marketplace for crafters, artisans, and artists.  Now, it is a place for wholesale theft from those artists!   What a scam!
