Summary
Independent artists frequently find their work sold without permission on platforms like print-on-demand shops, with no effective recourse. Existing solutions like DMCA takedowns are slow and often ignored, and legal action is prohibitively expensive. This leads to financial loss, emotional distress, and devaluation of their art. The problem remains unsolved as platforms lack robust enforcement and artists have no affordable way to protect their IP.
