What is the quickest, easiest, most anonymous way to get someone in trouble for selling unlicensed 3D printed merchandise in an Etsy store?

if its big company merchandise, then contact the company. they usually have shit ton of law power. Just write an email to them linking the etsy store pretty quick and straight foward.

If you want to be doubly sure of anonymity, use VPN and throwaway email address

>> No.18877459

Literally nothing will happen even if you do. They'll get an automated message telling them to stop. If they're dumb enough not to they will get another automated letter regarding a claim against them. If they do stop, it ends there, no trouble, nothing.

For the record it's unlicensed Adult Swim merch
>>18877459
Having to stop would be trouble for this person, a large portion of their income comes from this type of merch. Unfortunately they also have a stream coming in from Final Fantasy swords which I imagine would be harder to shut down

Also just use a proton mail via tor through a VPN, easy. Why the secrecy? Are you fucking over an ex or something.

If it's 3d printed, they likely can defend themselves.

Just prefer to be covert as I believe this person to be unstable. Not an ex.
>>18877573
This is one thing that concerns me in achieving my goal of causing trouble, there is already so much 3D printed knockoff stuff on Etsy, it's likely a large part of what Etsy sells these days

They'll struggle to defend themselves, 3D printing is still manufacture. If they're selling them as FF swords or Adult swim merch it's a slam dunk. If they're not describing them, if the design is the same then that's still infringement. There are better looking redheads

>> No.18877857

Etsy will automatically shut down their shop after 2 or 3 infringements. The complaints have to be made by the copyright owner though. Another way would be to buy something from them and open cases, this causes grief. Hopefully you're doing this from a legit standpoint and not to just be a cunt to somebody.

That's comforting to hear, they are using the names and in some cases have something of a description for the item. And there sure are

Good to know.

This would definitely cause some headaches, thanks.

What if I'm just doing this to a rude cunt whom I've been nothing but nice to?

>> No.18877918

>>18877892
Depends how rude they've been, this could be putting food on the table for their kids. Once a shop is closed the whole IP and postal address gets banned forever, so family member's shops will also be shut down. Just depends how much of a cunt you really want to be, they might end up homeless as a result. If they deserve it though, fuck em.

No kids, no one to be hurt except ol' cuntface himself

I think so, the arrogance and ungrateful attitude has gone too far.
Should I be contacting Cartoon Network, TBS, or Warner Media? Or all 3 + AT&T?

They could just start up again via VPN and PO box. But it's a lot of work to set up a new ID. If the guy isn't switched on it could be GG for him.

>>18877863
Well it's a clear infringement, take screen shots as backup evidence, but the corp lawyers should be able to take it from here. It's normally a template copy write infringement doc they send out. Give them the store html, the offending items html and the esty report/contact us html, make it easy for the IP lawyers because they're normally idiots.

He's pretty retarded so this will likely be effective. Also if he pops back up I can just repeat the process

Really appreciate the advice, just wondering which companies I should contact and which officials in those companies

normally big companies have IP lawyers on retainer so they don't need to figure out if it's worth their time. I'd just use the shotgun approach, type up a short template and use it for every company.
