RIP OFF OF WORK

This
is a regular happening. What is? Having your images
ripped off and reproduced in China and sold to
manufacturers around the world. Oh, yes, did I
mention that when that happens there is nothing of
consequence that you can do to prevent the
theft from
occurring?
I have had this happen more times than I can count. I have had companies who are in the US and were using the images. Some were companies ‘unaware’, others I had to go to court and demand settlement. Others it was simply a fox chase. You spend loads of money and time bleeding trying to stop the theft to no avail. Yes, there are laws. Very funny and sad. I learned to just keep going and try to build images faster that the Chinese could rip them off. That too was a joke. A major portion of the United States manufacturing is done in China and when you license an image to a good manufacturer and he goes to China to get the job done, the design is lost out the back door.
Posting this to let others know that this is theft. I did not license these designs to any manufacturer to use on plates.
This image below is one I will be using to build products on CHRISTMAS DEPOT, CHRISTMAS CARDS and THE SANTA SHOP this week. This was how I made a living and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to show others what happens to work you build with your hands in good faith. Oh, Mary Parker is the name under which I built all my Christmas images. This company 3 Peas in a Pod is actively selling work which is illegal.
