POD Designer and AI Art Enthusiast blogging about my Adventures online
Despite the fact that I am constantly battling copycats and copyright infringements on the Amazon Marketplace, you CAN actually find my original designs there. So if you are looking for unique gift ideas that are produced by Amazon (through Merch), Society6 or even GrabYourDesign, please do not hesitate to check these out:
So here I am, still looking for alternative methods to kick copyright infringers in their butts. Today I learned that you can actually report copyright infringements to Google to remove the infringing page from their search result page. Mhh, might be interesting to try, don’t you think?
To test it, I have just reported a blog that has been stealing one of my Santa Monica Pier artwork pieces with a unique effect. So you cannot argue that it is not mine. I had already opened a case through Copytrack and will just see how this goes through with Google. I consider it sending some extra love to an infringing website.
I stumbled across this great manual on how to fill out Google’s form, you might want to check yourself:
-> Report Copyright Infringement to Google Web Search | PCsteps.com
Very handy although 2 years old. Things rarely keep up-to-date online but this one is still very helpful.
The next step – after my test is all set and done and I can see the results – is to maybe report Amazons marketplace links through this feature. I am really fed up with reporting Chinese copycats through Amazon’s webform and am looking for new ways to hit both the infringers and Amazon. Removing product pages of Amazon on Google is a tiny step but maybe they will see a pattern. I don’t know… I am clinging to every tiny piece of hope.
Any ideas from you about this topic? I’d live to read your thoughts on this.
October 2018 was a great start for me after September with “only” two sales. Hey, I am still happy about EVERY sale I can make and I never expected 8 sales in one month 🙂 The 8th was on German Amazon.de which made me especially proud. So here we go, these are the winning designs which almost all sold more than once:
The major driving force was 1) the possibility to create and sell PopSockets and 2) the opening of the German marketplace for my designs. Off we go 🙂
And in case you do not know what a Popsocket is, here is a cool video explaining it all:
And now you need one, right? 😉
Since I NEED to get back to writing blog posts on a regular basis, re-starting to write about my monthly sales seems to be a must. So please have a look at my sales on Zazzle for the month of January in 2019:
Copyright infringements and image theft are still a HUGE issue for artists on Amazon and since Amazon keeps to ignore any petitions, please, whatsoever it is still our task (and a very tedious one!) to keep reporting those infringing listings and ASINs.
I have used Amazon’s mobile app to scan my photos and found many infringements. Some I may not have found by just looking for my titles and search phrases. But how to report those infringements? I have used my Amazon wishlist to pin them all onto one wishlist to keep track of them. Very handy and easy to use from my smartphone and various laptops. I can also see at a glance which ones are still availble and online and which items have already been removed without checking my emails.
If you’d like to check out my public wishlist for #stopimagetheft, please feel free to do so.
Update after two hours – all ASINs are reported and some have already been removed 🙂
