Copyright Violations on Amazon Walmart Google Shopping

I am the type of person that subscribes to the positive effort of "do it right the first time." That would explain why I was so bummed yesterday to find that one of my original artsy designs from Zazzle was once again listed by several probably Chinese sellers on Amazon! Searching further on Amazon, I found 8 product listings by several sellers. Doing a Google image search took me to two sellers on Walmart, with my product, using Google Shopping to promote the sale.

It is curious, that doing a Google Image Search to find my original product, that it clearly states "Images may be subject to copyright." You can "learn more" by clicking on those linked words to a Google reference, "What is Copyright?"

Google Legal Reference: What is Copyright?

It should be paramount to all sellers on Amazon and other sites like Walmart and eBay that they agree and understand copyrights. It's been several years now, and hundreds of copyright infringement complaints filed ... and I still will find my original artsy products listed by online sellers.

COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT PRODUCTS

Copyright Violation on Amazon - Starotor

Copyright Violation on Walmart - BPBOP and ARTJIA

Copyright Violation on Google Shopping - BPBOP and ARTJIA

Copyright Violation on People Promoting Walmart - BPBOP

I can report that Amazon USA and Canada were very expeditious with the processing of my copyright violation complaints against the several sellers. I received confirmation within a timely period from Amazon telling me they didn't support copyright infringements and removed the products.

Some of the Amazon Canada Sellers with Copyright Infringements include Harots-ltd, Wecye, Ploekdu, CXMS, GHEDPO, FbaPan and BurnellGarden.

Copyright Infringement Complaint Submitted - Amazon

When it came to reporting these copyright violations to Walmart, I was on a chat with an associate who immediately asked for my permission to escalate the complaint. It's 24 hours later and I am still waiting to hear back from Walmart as to how they will address and handle copyright violations reported.

I also reported the copyright violations to Google Shopping and am awaiting removal.

Another day, Tuesday, January 15, 2019 ... this morning I was searching again on Amazon for my Artsy Gerbera Daisy Watercolor art when I saw a PRIME listing and then another seller, Queen's designer who had a different product of mine, Boldly Sunny Sunflowers. Holy Smokes, but this is never ending! I never envisioned in my retirement as a senior starving artist, that I'd spend my waning hours reporting copyright infringements!!!

Here is the original of today's infringed upon product of mine. I have this original design with a variety of backgrounds including black, white and teal, on a host of products available from my Zazzle store, Jaguar Julie Flowers. Please support the original designer, me! Don't buy fakes from Amazon, Walmart, or elsewhere online. You'll not be happy with the inferior quality of those stolen art products.

And, yes, once again, I was busy completing copyright violation forms on Amazon ... both the USA and Canada!! It is so distressing that I try and limit my reporting to a different product each morning so that it doesn't completely ruin my psyche or my day!!

Stolen Art Products - More Copyright Violations - Google Image Search

Doing a Google Image Search brought up MANY more listings of my copyrighted art product. Copyright Infringement is rampant on the internet ... can we build a border wall on the internet to protect us original artists from content theft and copyright infringements??

UPDATE JANUARY 16, 2019 -- COPYRIGHT VIOLATIONS

Doing my daily check of Amazon, I find two more sellers illegally selling products with copyright violations! This morning, the two sellers reported are Bo Fair and LMHB.

Artsy Christmas Tree Holiday Decor

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree. It is Artsy Christmas Tree Decor setting the stage for the holidays, and you can find it at Zazzle! In honor of the holidays, and to spread a little holiday cheer, I was sponsoring a $25 #zazzle giveaway. Find out how easy it is to submit your entry ... see that Christmas tree plate? It is empty at the moment and we want to fill it up with Christmas cookies. That's where you come in! Read on to learn more about the giveaway.

I have designed a festive line of holiday decor that features two artsy renditions of a Christmas tree. You can find that tree in assorted colors of white, green, red, light blue and light pink on a variety of backgrounds from solids to stripes.

Artsy Christmas Tree Decor

Spotlight on the Products
My favorite #zazzlemade product is definitely the 16 inch by 16 inch Artsy Christmas Tree pillow! I couldn't decide whether I wanted a green tree on a red background or a red tree on a green background. So, I made it a 2-sided pillow with a reverse design on the flip side! Check out that first photo and you can see the green tree on a brilliant red background.

The moment I opened the package to reveal that pillow, I was in awe of the brilliant colors and quality of the fabric. I couldn't stop turning the pillow over and over again to check the two different designs.

The pillow fabric is a 100% Polyester Simplex Knit Fabric that is machine-washable and made in the USA. There is a hidden zipper at the bottom of the pillow that is tastefully stitched. You can also get #zazzlemade pillows in a 20 inch by 20 inch or 13 inch by 21 inch size and in Grade A cotton. These pillows are the perfect gifts for the host or hostess who might be throwing a holiday party!

Check out this next holiday photo to see the red tree on a pretty green background. Decisions, decisions! If you can't make up your mind on two designs, well, get them both!

Artsy Christmas Tree Decor

My second favorite #zazzlemade product is the beautiful 10 inch Artsy Christmas Tree melamine plate. I was thrilled to learn that these plates are made by FUJIFILM! As a retired Marketing Manager from FujiFilm Hunt, it's rather nice to be able to order one of their products. This particular design of the brilliant green tree on a vibrant and bold red background with a pretty golden-yellow star really pops. You will be impressed by the quality of the colors.

These melamine plates are non-toxic, dishwasher-safe and virtually break-resistant. Unfortunately, they are not recommended for the microwave.

Artsy Christmas Tree Decor

Look closely at that lighted, Southern-style Christmas tree. Notice anything familiar hanging on that tree?

There is another 2-sided design of the Christmas tree [that coordinates with the pillow] -- it is a #zazzlemade ornament! The 2-Sided Green Christmas Tree on Red - Red on Green Ornament.

The artsy ceramic ornament measures 2.87 inches in diameter and weighs 1.4 ounces. It comes with a sparkly gold thread for hanging. You can print on both sides which is the perfect opportunity to try that second design.

An ornament is the perfect stocking stuffer gift. But, don't wait until Christmas to give this type of gift. Consider customized ornaments as another gift for the host or hostess throwing that holiday party! Or, maybe you have a gift exchange at the office?

Artsy Christmas Tree Decor

Our fourth festive coordinating #zazzlemade item is the Artsy Green Christmas Tree on Red Drink Coaster.

This sandstone coaster measures 4.25 inches in diameter with a depth of 0.25 inches, and weighs 3.88 ounces. It comes with a cork pad backing so that it won't scratch your table tops. They also have an attractive matte finish.

You'll find that these coasters are just a wee bit larger than most coasters. They can accommodate a variety of cup sizes. Coasters are excellent gifts for adding a little #holidaycheer. Consider adding a personalized coaster with that holiday bottle of cheer!

Artsy Christmas Tree Decor

The Other Artsy Christmas Tree
If you want a more abstract design, you might like the other #zazzlemade 2-Sided Green Christmas Tree on Red - Red on Green Pillow.

I had a tough time trying to decide if I wanted to have a more traditional style Christmas tree design or a more artistic design.

The vibrant red, green, and yellow colors are the same; only the tree design is different. If your host or hostess has an artsy side, consider this design as their host or hostess gift! What a great way to add #holidaycheer this year.

$25 #Zazzle Giveaway
We have saved the best for last! See that pretty Christmas tree plate? Right now it is rather empty and in need of a 'decoration.' It needs to be decorated with Christmas cookies! What is your favorite Christmas cookie? To get an entry into the random drawing for a $25 #Zazzle gift certificate, share on Twitter or Facebook a photo of your favorite Christmas cookie. Use the hashtags of #Zazzle and #christmascookies in your share. Then, be sure to comment on this blog post with the url of that share. One entry per person please. The deadline for entries is November 30, 2014.

So, what about those cookies? Well, another perfect #holidaycheer gift idea would be to bake a dozen of your favorite Christmas cookies and decorate a Christmas tree plate. Make that your host or hostess gift! It will be like giving two gifts in one; the cookies and the plate. Got a special recipe for Christmas tree cookies? Oh Christmas Tree; Oh Christmas Tree!

Zazzle is the perfect destination for finding a beautiful array of holiday gifts that you can customize to your heart's content!

Bargains from Jaguar Julie Designs eCrater Store

The time has sincerely passed for getting a bargain at my eCrater Store. Incorporating my 'passion for fashion' into my picks which include clothing, accessories, jewelry and some gift ideas. You'll find recognizable name brands along with one of my Eastern European favorite, Lalo Orna, the most amazing resin jewelry and accessories that are made in Bulgaria.

As I transitioned into my retirement from the corporate world, I opted to scale back a variety of my online activities.

I hope that you are enjoying your fabulous finds.

The Importance of Topicability

Topicability : The Importance of Topicability -- Squidoo Lenses and Elsewhere. Ah, the importance of being TOPICAL! Inspired by Squidoo, I'm announcing the launch of Topicability : The Blog which made its debut on April 8, 2008!

Topicability : that which is relevant, of current interest, contemporary, spot-on.

Being a Giant Squid, Squid Angel, and prolific Lensmaster, I have learned first-hand the importance of Topicability particularly in how that translates to lensranking. I'm no stranger to blogging either, having womaned this very blog Jaguar Julie : Blog On! since December 2004.

I hope that you'll take some time to check out Topicability : The Blog where I'll be featuring Squidoo lenses that I happen upon which are spot-on topical!

HOW TO ADD YOUR LENS: Oh, want me to check out your Squidoo lenses for topicability to be featured in my Topicability Blog? Add your comment to this blog post and let me know how your Squidoo lens is topicable!

P.S. I guess you could say that a bit of my inspiration from 'yesterday' is the Oscar Wilde play, The Importance of Being Earnest. Have you seen the movie or read the book yet?

As an eBay Seller Looking for What's Hot

As an eBay seller, I'm on the look out for what's "hot." And, I don't necessary mean "hot" as in those prolific knockoff or replica handbags, which are seemingly the rage. I can't tell you just how many sellers on eBay are selling knockoffs as the real genuine thing!

However, "eBay.com has rules posted forbidding the sale of counterfeit goods, but it's not unusual to see Louis Vuittons on the site for less than $100."

I personally would rather sell the real, genuine article. So, I'm sticking to selling designer women's apparel with recognizable, authentic brand names.

• Check my positive feedback.
• Purchase and pay with confidence as I'm PayPal verified and ID-verified on eBay.
• My eBay store is Jaguar Julie Designs which just happens to be the name of my new company!

P.S. I stopped selling on eBay and only buy something once in a while. Being retired and a single senior, my life has changed significantly and I no longer have the energy to be a seller.
