hellovon.com is a pain to browse, every thing you click takes a million years to transition over, I had the patience to see only 2 works

Wow, the cheek. Asos are a big big name in the UK, seems odd that they would do this so blatantly.
On a side note, I used to buy things off there a few years ago when things were cheap, they've got expensive recently, and it's still poor quality tat.
- they could have bought the rights to the artwork from the fraudulent "artist", not knowing it was stolen.lvl_13

your blog might be a more relevant link to repost:
- < that link isn't working any more.
it worked earlier.akrokdesign

Why not just contact a solicitor if the case is as straightforward as it seems, you'd be better off suing them than having random people tweeting about the injustice.

so that gestalten book is a ripoff? they must feel bad then.

I'd believe Horp's point above is going to be the answer

I tweeted it:

says its ASOS Collection.
but i'd imagine Mau is right, most likely a freelancer submitting artwork.
- They are still liable even if its a freelancer. Its up to them to counter-sue the freelancer.Horp

Has Bjork been informed?
- jimbojones0
but what if the chick wearing the shirt did that? that changes everything!
and great work by hellovon, unusable site though

that shirt has some sleeve issues. i mean what the fuck are those? bat wings?
sucks about the rip though. i smell a sales percentage on top of copyright infringement fee.

I emailed them and just got this back:
"Thank you for your email.
I can confirm that for any designs we use that are from designers outside of asos we do get full permission.
Please email if we can assist with anything else."
- and I can confirm that their email monkeys need to go back to grammar school.inkpink
