Important Notice About Stolen Artwork ⚠️
About Original Artwork & Buyer Awareness
We believe transparency and originality are essential in the creative marketplace. Unfortunately, some digital bundles offered online may include artwork that has been reused, redistributed, or shared without proper authorization.
If you recognize any of the designs shown here in other bundles, it may indicate that those listings do not represent original, artist-created work. Buyers are encouraged to take care when purchasing digital products that claim originality, especially when bundles appear unusually large or priced far below market value.
To help ensure you are purchasing original content, we recommend:
Reviewing seller descriptions carefully
Looking for clear statements about authorship and creation
Supporting sellers who create and present their own work
Choosing original artwork supports independent creators and helps maintain a fair and respectful creative marketplace.
Why Is It Illegal to Resell Other Artists’ Work?
Artwork is automatically protected by copyright law from the moment it is created. This protection applies to illustrations, designs, digital art, tattoos, references, and images — whether they are published online or not.
Only the original creator (or someone they license the work to) has the legal right to:
Sell the artwork
Distribute copies
Include it in bundles or digital products
Reselling, redistributing, or bundling artwork created by someone else without explicit permission is a violation of copyright law. This applies even if:
The image was found on social media or Pinterest
The artwork was “edited,” recolored, or slightly modified
The seller claims it is “royalty-free” without proof
Copyright infringement harms artists by taking away control of their work and undermines fair competition in creative marketplaces.
⚠️
What Rights Do Customers Have If Artwork Is Stolen?
When a customer purchases digital artwork, they have the right to expect that the seller owns the work or has legal permission to sell it. If artwork is later found to be stolen or redistributed without authorization, customers may have several protections available to them.
Report the listing for intellectual property infringement
Request a refund if the product was misrepresented as original
Open a case if the item violates marketplace policies
Misrepresentation of authorship or originality can invalidate a sale, as the seller does not have the legal right to profit from work they do not own.
Why This Matters
Supporting original creators helps maintain a healthy and ethical art community. When customers choose authentic, artist-created content, they:
Support real creative labor
Encourage fair pricing and quality
Help reduce the spread of stolen artwork
Transparency, originality, and respect for creators benefit everyone involved.
