Julie Aldridge
“Sunset Wave” mosaic
Julie made her Sunset Wave mosaic for a gallery exhibition — then watched it spread across the internet and onto Temu, sold as rugs by seller after seller. She reported them, the listings came down. Weeks later, new ones appeared. A year on, she’s still fighting to reclaim her own design — which is exactly why a one-off takedown isn’t enough.

Zara🇺🇸 USA
Enamel pins & patches
Zara reproduced the LA illustrator’s pins and patches. When she complained, the retailer argued her work was “too simple” to protect. 40+ artists came forward.

Shein🇺🇸 USA
Hand-crocheted knitwear
Shein copied 45 of her designs. Pieces she sold for $95–$300 turned up on Shein for under $20 — “my whole life, copied.”

Shein🇺🇸 USA
Graphic art & prints
Three designers sued Shein under federal racketeering law, alleging it copies artists “over and over.” Shein had offered one of them $500.

Temu🇨🇦 Canada
Original illustrations
The BC artist found his work on Temu shirts he never authorised. Within days, dozens of other artists told him the same had happened to them.

Temu🇦🇺 Australia
A–Z alphabet print
Her A$25 children’s alphabet print was mass-produced and sold on Temu for a couple of dollars. “The worst feeling as a small business owner and artist.”

Designers vs. Temu
Designer after designer has caught Temu selling copies of their work for a few dollars. It’s a pattern, not a one-off.

We write the takedown reports for you.
Every marketplace wants its own form, its own wording, its own evidence. CopyDog drafts the whole thing for each confirmed match — Etsy’s format, Temu’s format, the timestamps, the screenshots, the comparison — and pre-fills the fields.
- Drafted for you. Report text, evidence pack and form fields, ready to paste into the platform.
- You stay in control. You review and attest before anything is sent. CopyDog never files in your name.
- Never the seller. We prepare reports to the marketplace — we never message or accuse the copycat directly.
Notice text (drafted)
“I am the owner of the original work shown. The listing above reproduces it without authorisation. I have a good-faith belief that this use is not permitted…”
Straight answers
Questions, answered honestly.
Does CopyDog decide whether something is copyright infringement?
No. CopyDog finds visual matches and organises evidence. You decide whether a listing is a copy, and platforms decide whether to remove it. CopyDog is not a law firm and does not give legal advice.
Will CopyDog file reports for me?
No — and that's deliberate. We draft the report and pre-fill the marketplace's fields, but you review, attest, and submit it yourself. We never file in your name and never contact the copycat seller.
Which marketplaces are supported?
Any marketplace where copies show up — Etsy, Temu, Amazon, Redbubble, AliExpress and more. During the founder-run beta we check them by hand, and automated scanning rolls out marketplace by marketplace.
Do I need registered copyright?
Usually not to report a clear copy, but requirements vary by platform and country. Source files and first-publication dates strengthen a report — CopyDog helps you assemble them.
Can you guarantee a listing will be removed?
No. Platforms make that call. Clear, well-documented exact copies are often removed — but copies can reappear under new sellers, which is exactly why ongoing monitoring matters.
How is my original work stored?
In private storage with signed, expiring links and per-account isolation. You can delete your files and evidence at any time.
Is the beta free?
Yes. No card required. During beta we personally review every match and will scan your first 20 designs. In return we ask for a short feedback call.
