What's wrong with people?

After being in this business now for well over 25 years, and the Internet world for 10, I have come to the conclusion that there is something very wrong with a large part of the population. I know it's not some great revelation or anything that I noticed this but some people are just generally in need of a serious evaluation.

Example: Generally we scout the Internet for our own copy protected images several times a week.  Most times we find a few older designs that have been copied by vinyl plotter thieves.  Usually a nice email stating the problem fixes the issue.  Other thieves that tend to not to co-operate are awarded with a nice letter from our lawyer suit-able for framing.

This past week while surfing for the nasty, (not porn you freaks) it has come to our attention that there are many, many companies just blatantly stealing copy protected, trademarked and using other kinds of stuff that you can pay a hefty fine for.  Mostly those counter fitting Harley, Sports Logos, Hanna Barbara, Warner Bros, Fox Racing, etc. images all to sell as their own for profit.  The owners of these corporations and their legal teams, play hardball.  They will protect there images at ALL COSTS, as well as little old stickerheads.com. ;-)

That is why you will NOT find anything on stickerheads that in stolen, infringes upon the intellectual property rights of others or just blatantly ripping off an others work!  We spend a lot of time creating original art and sayings just for our customers and we intend to protect them.

So one day in the near future, we may be the only sticker place on the Internet that's left because everyone else is long out of business because they are working 3 jobs just to pay those hefty fines.
