LOL is there an Department of Digital Scrapbook Design that monitors designers? How would anyone know who to complain to? That right there tells you that these people are bogus. I agree with witchypoo, this letter screams malicious intent with out a shred of authority to intimidate.

Ignore them, or threaten them with action for slander. These people love to cause this heartache to the innocent, you know you are innocent, so treat them with the contempt they deserve.

I have 3 cat-themed kits that I bought in the SAME STORE; all the cats are identical, just colored differently to match the kits. My first thought was that I'd love to find those CU cats to make a kit for myself that is catered to the colors of my cats. I didn't think I was looking at anything but CU cats used by three designers. The kits are otherwise different, but they are the same cats. I saw no piracy just a relented CU designer with a hot selling product. <br /><br />If the designers paid for the product, there is no piracy. However, the person accusing your friend of piracy is trying to claim copyright on the CU work of someone else. I believe claiming ownership of someone else’s CU product is in violation of most basic TOUs and maybe the accuser is the actual pirate here.<br />Nanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12272117728572172014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461115807512996645.post-53443253147392102412012-08-20T10:54:08.092-07:002012-08-20T10:54:08.092-07:00CU is CU!

Almost all designers use some form of CU products whether they received them free or bought them and to be honest, so many kits look similar that I blog hop a couple days a week looking for different and unique things. But this does not mean that the bulk of a designers kit isn't their own and the twists they put on the CU items they do use in kits makes them different anyway. The net has a serious over saturation of designers and scrap stores so I guess it's inevitable that the dregs of those designers are attacking the rest, it's the devils way. I, personally gave up my scrap blog and quit designing 2 years ago due to the turn it had taken with petty jealousies and ugliness. So sad for your friend, only 2 options, try to continue and ignore it, or throw in the towel. Hope your friend has the strength to fight, I didn't :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461115807512996645.post-21100875739020467092012-08-19T14:17:05.399-07:002012-08-19T14:17:05.399-07:00I'm amazed that with CU products and lifetime ...I'm amazed that with CU products and lifetime licensing that they can send this type of junk and expect anybody to believe it.

A person filed a lawsuite against her and had no living proof of piritacy and the person with the complaint lost the lawsuite. This same situation happen again, a different person with a complaint aslo lost the lawsuite however, whould not stop harrasing my friend and harrased her for 2 years, and she finaly closed her blog. Its sad, I am seeing more complaints and no proof of wrong doing from the designer.

Every designer has their own style which makes anything "similar" very different from others, no matter if they use the same templates. To accuse someone of piracy means they have to PROVE it and I see accusation and not a shred of proof in that email. Seems to me that a similar but legal threat should be issued back at the person who sent the ugly email. The original emailer certainly is pushing legal limits if they follow through with publication of your friend's information. <br /><br />Selling is a dog-eat-dog world. I'd love to tell all designers this: Respect your work and your abilities and don't be afraid of someone doing similar work, it's the quality of the work that matters. <br /><br />Being accused of piracy sucks, I've been there myself when I was selling my digital hybrid products. I didn't worry because I knew I had done my OWN work, but if there had been online accusations I'd have fought back, loudly. I'd love to see more fighting back against the accusations of petty people who fear competition! <br /><br />Wish your friend good luck and remind her/him to stay strong!
