Amateur hour

Those terms are for the ‘purpose of promoting your Content, producing and promoting your Products, and providing the other Society6 Services to you’ though, not 'giving to a third party so they can make a product out of it.
There's a fundamental difference there.
Amateur hour indeed.

There's a billion copies of a billion copies out there. Look at Apple and Samsung, they'll be people suing other people over "originality" for some time.
Some basic triangles looks like basic triangles to me - if you hadn't shown the "copy" I'd have still thought it came from somewhere else (and given time, I am sure I could find something else - the pattern is just too basic).
If you have something so original and really care, you better get some legal stuff to back it up (copyright is only $50 and gives you unlimited suing potential, worth it if you have something you think is just spectacular....I've done it numerous times, including bringing in a lawyer...and won, different subject though)

Art Rogers vs. Jeff Koons
Editor's Note: We have been struck by the recent controversy generated by Richard Prince's exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City: some are arguing that the work is not original given its use of photography by others. Richard Prince fed the fire with quotes such as, "I never associated advertisements with having an author," or ""I didn't do it, but I saw it, and that must count for something." The New York Times ran an article titled, "If the Copy Is an Artwork, Then What's the Original?"
