If you steal it -- then I am too.
Copying is also a big big problem on Etsy. Complaints coming in all over. People are not only stealing the designs, but posting the copied pics with the original water marks, and even the shop name and artist. Then there's the overseas bunch that just blatantly steal the whole shooting match and cheapen them up, mass produce them with basically slave labor, and flood the marketplace. Etsy doesn't seem to care - as long as they get their fees.
