There are massive intellectual property violations taking place within several print on demand merchandise providers in the US. Specifically violations of the Kontinental Hockey League, Australian Baseball League, Fijian Cricket and many other lesser known international sports entities that likely have no idea these American print on demand companies even exist.
The most egregious violator is Redbubble, but examples of this copyright infringement can be found on several other providers, including TeePublic (now a subsidiary of Redbubble). I have reported these violations to the POD companies numerous times on behalf of the various leagues, however in most cases the POD has refused to remove the content until an official claim is filed by the league in question. Additionally, I have contacted the KHL about this issue but have not received a response to date. (*Reps from the KHL have since responded and an investigation is underway) The language barrier is a possible obstacle to communication, or another possibility is that these matters are not worth pursuing for leagues that would likely recoup little in the way of damages. The fact remains that it is a clear and flagrant violation of intellectual property rights by multi-million dollar printing companies based in the U.S.
In addition to the flagrant violations of intellectual property perpetrated on international teams and leagues, there is also plenty of domestic copyright infringement taking place in these marketplaces, and it appears to be completely unchecked. I am including links to some of the shops hosted by these providers that I have reported with no results, and I am also including links to the vast amount of domestic intellectual property violations taking place on these servers as well.
