rentdyke:thetrekkiehasthephonebox:Ever hear of LookHuman? You probably know them as the website that has apparel and accessories with catchy slogans and phrases that fit right in with the tumblr community’s sense of humor.Well, that’s because a large number of those catchy slogans and phrases, along with artwork, were made by tumblr users and used without credit or permission.That’s right: LookHuman repeatedly and routinely steals/plagiarizes and profits off the work and words of others.Don’t believe me? Take a look:Original Post on tumblr:(source)Stolen by LookHuman:Original Post on tumblr:(source)Stolen by LookHuman:Original Post on tumblr:(source)Stolen by LookHuman:Original Post on tumblr:(source)Stolen by LookHuman:Original Post on tumblr:(source)Stolen by LookHuman:Original Post on tumblr:(source)Stolen by LookHuman:Original Post on tumblr:(source)Stolen by LookHuman:And this is just a short list of the examples I could find easily.They have also stolen work from other websites as well:Original Shirt:(source)Stolen by LookHuman:LookHuman is a company that preys on artists. They profit off other people’s work. None of the money from their sales go back to the original artists or originators of the artwork, slogans, and phrases they use. None of these people were credited.Bottom line: See a cute shirt with a catchy phrase on LookHuman’s website? Chances are it’s already being sold by the original poster.Don’t like seeing companies like this thrive?
