  Also, if you so desperately want a shirt of something - there's always plain white T's, a colour printer and iron-on paper...

  C'mon those pictures are evidently fake!
  
  It's just a cheap cotton shirt with an iron print!
  
  The picture doesn't even feature the actual merch. it's just a copy and paste job.

  You should click "Report Item" on each item on ebay.

  THIS is outrageous!
  
  Or should I feel proud? Nah...
  
  Sad thing is, most times, eBay doesn't care. It has turned into a pure money making platform for them, so most of the time they just don't want to be bothered.

  :eek: They stole your poster! I mean, I guess you could be a little proud, but you should be mostly outraged. They've just taken something that you worked very hard on, without permission, and stuck it on a shirt, are selling it and making money at the expense of Telltale by using a copyrighted logo and blatantly stolen artwork, and they're getting away with it!

  I have seen my fanart used for things here and there I do not really care because I do not own any of the rights to the characters... If it was something I had created entirely myself I would be annoyed.... Every once in a while someone actually asks to use my art in an online article or something that is when I feel honored ..
• Friar

  March 2010 edited March 2010

  Wow, does that mean that someone on these forums is doing this? Probably. Also, one of the items was listed as
  "NEW HOT MONKEY ISLAND MOVIE BLACK T SHIRT TEES". They make Tales sound like some kind of porn film...

  I am guessing they are lurking around here or maybe Lucasforums.com

  March 2010 edited March 2010

  Or perhaps it is actually someone FROM lucasarts trying to take revenue away from TellTale, just so they close down for lack of money to then take over the company and call it Lucasart TellTale division! OMG. SUE LUCASARTS!

  What some people won't do for money... I'm really sorry to see this. The best thing I can do is to order a T-Shirt from TTG with the Monkey Island logo. Which I did. At least we won't support the stupid-stealing-ebayers.
  
  That is one thing... BUT stealing a fanart and making a T-Shirt out of it, then selling it... man, that's just low. Honestly. It's a beautiful fanart piece and I was shocked when I saw it being used like that, without approval from anybody.

  Exactly what I tried to get across, but better said.

  The only thing I have to add is that stealing a piece of official art is equally as vicious of a theft. We care about the fanart one because we know how much heart was poured into it, but this is telltale, as much heart was poured into the art THEY made, and it's just as illegal to steal THAT.
  
  Either way it infuriates me, taking someone else work, pasting it on some shirt and selling it for profit. Probably didn't take them much time at all and I bet it will sell.
