The store makes their cutting in addition to the artists too brand a modest committee on sales.
These sites are dandy because it enables amateur artists to brand around coin on their work. But what happens when the artists infringe on intellectual property? The sites receive got a policy where all artwork uploaded yesteryear users must move their ain piece of work in addition to receive got permission to run said piece of work , but if no-one is complaining most the piece of work on the store , practise they genuinely tending if their site is total of infringing copyrighted art? Probably non , because that's what seems to sell.
Take a hold off at TeePublic's Popular T-Shirts page for example.
Art piece of work "Just Do It Later" is a parody of Nike's pop slogan in addition to in that place is too a Pokemon , Snorlax , drawn inwards the tick , asleep.
