So tell me.... What would you do if you came across someone's artwork being used on on eBay as their product or part of their product? I have found stickers, automotive decals, t-shirts, custom printed car tags, steering wheels speed knobs, buttons.... and much more. I have located several of the artist here on DA and notified them of my finds. I have only received one reply out of the seven artist that I have notified. I have checked eBay and the items are still listed. Should I continue to notify artist of my findings or just leave it alone? I thought I was helping out. But maybe I am just sticking my nose where it shouldn't be?

I think any artist would appreciate hearing about the theft of their art.  But it's a rare artist on DA that would 
pay to lawyer up and send a cease and desist letter.  If it was happening a lot, and apparently effecting their
income, then it would make sense.
