A first-time-posting thieving dickhead who posted a link to his stolen design on insert-crowdfunding-site-here.

Anyone got the link?
Who's shirt got nicked?

Ok... So that was you?

When I saw the original post was his first and he was trying to get funding for his shirt design, it seemed fishy, especially because he said it was an original design and "I think it's in the microwave range"

Well if it was his design surely he'd know more about it. So I screen capped the logo and fed it in to google image search and found the same design by someone else on Zazzle.

Figures the second crowdfunded thing I'd support would be a ripoff

Give teespring a call, try to get the whole campaign pulled and the guy banned from teespring for life.

By the way, we old farts believe in Terry Pratchett's "Multiple exclamation marks are a sure sign of a diseased mind". That guy on teespring uses three in his title. That is a big warning sign.

This is very strange. How much did he expect to make on such a small one-day campaign? $30? $50? That's hardly worth the trouble of re-generating the artwork & spamming.

Perhaps he has that peculiar disease that calls ill-gotten gains "easy money" and hence desirable.

Or maybe he just wanted "everyone" to think he was clever enough to make that design.

One can only hope it was a preliminary probe, and we shut it down, so s/he gets the message.
