"We're sorry to inform you that an intellectual property claim has been filed by UnitedHealth Group Inc against this design of yours on TeePublic"
If UnitedHealth really filed that claim, they're even more tone-deaf than I thought.
So how about merch with ceo and board members’ names and addresses on it?
'There is no world in which the copyright of a watercolor painting of Luigi Mangione surveillance footage done by Kenaston is owned by United Health Group as it quite literally has nothing to do with anything that the company owns.'
wake up and smell the daisies United Health Group owns everything and everyone in North America
She got an email from TeePublic that said “We're sorry to inform you that an intellectual property claim has been filed by UnitedHealth Group Inc against this design of yours on TeePublic,” and said “Unfortunately, we have no say in which designs stay or go” because of the DMCA. This is not true—platforms are able to assess the validity of any DMCA claim and can decide whether to take the supposedly infringing content down or not. But most platforms choose the path of least resistance and take down content that is obviously not infringing; Kenaston’s clearly violates no one’s copyright. Kenaston appealed the decision and TeePublic told her: “Unfortunately, this was a valid takedown notice sent to us by the proper rightsholder, so we are not allowed to dispute it,” which, again, is not true.
It's time to boycott TeePublic.
Don't go that far. Just ask someone to sign their name to the statement that they truly believe that UHG literally owns the likeness of the dude who (allegedly) shot one of their CEOs so you can call them a fucking moron by name online.
Done. TeePublic is dead to me.
I wonder who saw this coming?
Was it stallman again?
Yeah it really was. It’s annoying and terrifying how right Richard stallman always is.
I mean, I can't say he's the only or the first one to say anything similar
So they claim copyright.
So that means they admitted to orchestrated the assasination?
I mean I hate them as much as everyone else but that's a bit of a jump.
