Note that you're on the SPREADSHOP blog. So this is about Shops. While we're the same mother company, Spreadshirt Marketplace is a whole other business unit than ours. Every design has a \"REPORT\" this design issue, and every day, hundreds, maybe thousands of designs are removed for infringement. At Spreadshop we take it really seriously, not only because we want to protect the copyright owners, but we also want to help protect the unknowing customer from making a big mistake. \n\nWith that many being uploaded every day, its impossible for AI to catch them all, but sooner or later, the staff or the law will catch up to you if you're breaking rules. In the meantime, if you're cruising around Marketplace or any shops and you see something you can report it very easily by hitting the little \"FLAG\" on every item.","content_text":"In reply to Rypo.\n\nHey Rypo, no worries!
