[00:02] this was posted by simply_katie on threads writing, "Is this for real? Imagine asking somebody if you can steal their work. I can't believe this is what it's come to." It's a user on Etsy messaging them saying, "Hi, am I allowed
[00:15] to print and resell your books? If so, can I use the images you have posted here?" And OP says, "No, you're not. I own the full copyright for this book and if you did that, you would be committing a crime. Thanks, Katie." What in the
[00:27] audacity? Look, stealing is never okay, but like having the audacity to write an your stuff?" Another person says, "That's crazy. I got this gem of a commented, "I'm going to screenshot this and print it out. So cool." And another
[00:41] see your work made into products like e-reader cases all over Etsy by various sellers. I tried contacting you about it, but I guess it never reached you. I says, "Thank you. I try my best to get them taken down. I appreciate you for
[00:55] making me aware." And everybody else is so extremely flabbergasted at how this says, "I've had this twice before where people asked me to send them a digital file of my stickers that they can print out." Like, it's honestly so absurd that
[01:08] it sounds impossible, but the amount of people in the comments being like, "Oh, yeah, this happened to me, too." Wild. But, go check out Katie's artwork. Their artwork is so beautiful. Look at all of these pieces. Wow, wait, this bookmark
[01:21] is so gorgeous. So, yeah, go show them some love because their art is so pretty some love because their art is so pretty and stealing people's work is not okay.
