DMCA Blues

I had several of my works pulled from RedBubble per a DMCA request.  They were some of my Angry Birds works.  I am all for protecting people's intellectual property.  I can agree with two of the take downs.  There wasn't enough in those two works that made the images really my own work.  However the other two bear striking similarities to over 300 hundred Angry Birds works still on the RedBubble site.  One of my removed works was even re-posted to the site of an authorized Angry Birds merchandiser.  The other odd part is that one of my Angry Birds works is still online.  Weird.

I guess the lesson is to make sure you don't get close to the imaginary copyright line.  Live and learn.
