Please help us!
The online business www.24hoursLoot.com based in Pune is profiting from widespread art theft!
Many, many of the designs they are selling on t-shirts have been stolen/copied from hard working Artists (like myself) around the World without their permission. This blatant infringement of international copyright laws needs to stop immediately and we seriously need your help to put an end to this practice.
here is a link to a small forum of Artists affected: http://www.redbubble.com/people/zomboy/journal/7602885-beware-all-artists#comment-44520025 (apologies for some of the strong language but we are very passionate about protecting our work!)
After numerous e-mails, online requests and telephone calls from here in Australia, nothing happened. It was only when I started to threaten them by going to the media with a spotlight on their two "Founders" that I finally got them to remove my design from the website!
However, what seemed as a last act of defiance and ridicule, they put my design onto their Home Page as the "Loot of the Day! " This was the last straw for me and I am now on a mission to expose their scam and ensure they are named and shamed.
This business is run by Arpana Priyadarshini and her husband Jai Kumar. They also run www.pringoo.com, www.teezen.com and Pixdesign Printing.
24hoursLoot.com has had much success out of these illegal practices as this article explains:

Their success of the back of other peoples talent angers many of us who have been their victims and as a result we want to begin a push for compensation.
If your organization can help our cause, you will be giving the worldwide design community a huge helping hand to stop such opportunistic theft occurring in the future.
I will thank you in advance for any support you can offer and if you would like more information, please feel free to contact me at any time.
