A company on the 'net that makes "quilt blankets"...basically printed tops that they then machine quilt and bind has begun advertising one of my designs for sale as available i 4 sizes of quilt and as having been created by one of their "Professional in-house designers".
I have contacted them with proof that I am the copyright owner and that they are required to cease and desisit, but I'm not holding out much hope.
The name of the company is Charming Tribe.com and I will include a picture of the quilt that they have stolen.

Oh Watson! That is horrible!! I went to their website and clicked on something called "DMCA", where they actually lay out the steps to follow if you think they have infringed on your intellectual property. Wow! To me that is like admitting that "We're going to use other people's stuff and will continue to use it until we're told not to, in a complicated and (probably) expensive way. Phooey to you."

It also appears that you are not the first person to complain, and, in fact, are waiting for people to complain. If you go to their home page and scroll all the down, there is a link labelled DMCA claim. It takes you to a google document that outlines how to complain about copyright infringement. If you post any additional images, you may need to watermark the pics before you post them.
This is terrible. I have to believe they know what they are doing is illegal or at least very sketchy. Good luck, I hope you prevail.
