Let My Pictures Go! Cushion

Simple text reading, "Jeff Bezos." "Don't Harden Your Heart," "LET MY PICTURES GO!" Additional text reads, "Jeff Bezos allows stolen art to be sold in the Amazon Marketplace. Write him at jeff@amazon.com.Tell him this is wrong." Amazon.com provides the opportunity for businesses to sell products in their marketplace. According to the "Important Information for International Sellers", a seller has to agree that the sale and delivery of the product will not violate the intellectual property rights of others (e.g. the product manufacturer). This has not stopped numerous overseas businesses from stealing artwork and designs for Print On Demand companies like Zazzle. Many thousands of images for pillows, doormats and phone cases have been copied from Zazzle. These stolen images are uploaded to Amazon to produce products for sale at a fraction of its normal selling price. This is done without the without the knowledge permission or license of either the artist or Zazzle. The stolen images are low-resolution. As a result the images printed on products for sale in the Amazon Marketplace are fuzzy, muddy, distorted - the customer receives an inferior product. It's a lose-lose situation for both artists and customers. Please write to Jeff Bezos at jeff@amazon.com and tell him this is wrong. All royalties received from the sale of this product will be donated to charity.
