Okay, well a little overdramatic I am, as I am not sure if they've pulled my stuff or what, but when I logged into my account today, EVERYTHING I HAVE DESIGNED OVER THE LAST YEAR WAS GONE!

Perhaps if enough people send
"Please restore the TenthCrewMember Collection!"
emails to support@zazzle.com it might get their attention, otherwise I am gonna have to go strictly with Cafe' Press and it's gonna take alot of time to get all the designs transferred over (a process I've already started, and it is a task, for sure!)

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Browncoats!

Sigh...it never goes smooth...

WTF?!?!? All my stuff is gone too!!

Oh, wait. I never had a Zazzle account.

Nevermind.

I will e-mail them for yours, though.

Surely they'd have given you a warning first if they thought you should remove any of your images? That's what CafePress do.

Hope you get it sorted

You would think, but I know Gojiro once had all his stuff pulled and not so little as a kick in the crotch to warn him, so who knows?

Cilantro!

Done - sent my email! Why do they THINK you do this stuff? If it weren't for your sorts of places on the Net, I'm not so sure we'd HAVE a BDM.

Good luck.

I just sent my email - here's to a collective effort to get you back online!

I also sent an email.

Any idea of why this happened yet? Do you break some tiny, hard to find rule or something?

Hmm, well, let's hope we can complain loud enough to get you back in business!

Hey, TCM, this is what I just got from Zazzle:

Quote:

Thank you for your email to Zazzle.com.

My suspicion is that Tenthcrewmember's products were removed from the
public
galleries at Zazzle because they contained copyright-protected images
from
the television show Firefly and the movie Serenity.

Zazzle believes strongly in the strict protection of an artist's
intellectual property rights in his or her artistic work, and takes
instances of infringement of these rights on the Zazzle website very
seriously.

While it is certainly unfortunate that Tenthcrewmember's products are
no
longer available for purchase at Zazzle, we hope you will understand
the
necessity of our compliance with United States copyright and trademark
laws.
As a general guideline, Zazzle will not allow products with a
copyrighted
title, name, or image.

We here at Zazzle are working hard every day to secure the right to
produce
more and more of the world's digital content customized and on demand.
We
could use your help in encouraging Joss Whedon himself to add official
Serenity and Firefly content to Zazzle!

We look forward to creating high quality products for you very soon.

Best Regards,
Mike Karns
Zazzle.com, Inc.



Sounds like corporation with hands of blue to me . . . I'd say stick with your cafe' press store, bud. We'll keep buyin'.

Sorry to hear it TCM. I just got an e-amil today telling me my shop would be shut down in 48 hours. This so sucks. I started a thread over here.

Check out my shop! Firefly & LOST products.
