Eye patches, hook hands, phrases like “Argh Matey”. Yeah. Pirates are awesome.
Internet pirates, on the other hand? Not so awesome. We don’t stand for people stealing the work of Redbubble users (or stealing the work of anyone), so we do what we can to safeguard your artwork on our site. If you happen to find a work being used without your permission by another Redbubble user, you can send us a takedown notice and we’ll handle it promptly according to our policies.
However, we aren’t able to remove works from other websites for you. If your work is being used on another website without your permission, it’s up to you to request its removal from the operator of that website.
This may be more straightforward than you’d think. You can visit the website in question and learn about its policy for removing the infringing material. Most sites have a process in place for handling complaints.
Obligatory Yet Very Important Legal Disclaimer:
Don’t be fooled by any complicated jargon (and how snazzy we look in pinstripe). We are not your lawyer and this is not legal advice. We recommend contacting an attorney if you need an actual legal consultation.
Rather, this is general information aimed at giving you the legal lay of the land. While we can’t defend you in court, we know that art and IP ownership can be murky territory; the least we can do is arm you with the right kind of knowledge to get you started.
