Slow processing of license infringement reports  

RE:

I would send them an email.  The forum post will probably not get you a response.  

RE: Slow processing of license infringement reports

I have passed this on (upwards) requesting that it be looked at urgently.

Hello, 

@threed-michael I apologize for the wait. Things are a bit busy and it took longer than expected to review the claim and I apologize. Your report was looked at and the other persons design was removed from public viewing while we inform them and then the posting will be deleted. 

thank you 

RE: Slow processing of license infringement reports

Ok, thanks everyone!

RE: Slow processing of license infringement reports

Believe it or not, the user in question reposted the license-infringing remix after Prusa removed it. I wonder if he was even told why his remix was removed. And I wonder if repeated license violations will eventually result in stronger consequences.

Report again as a second violation.  You set 'no derivatives' yet the copier has modified it and then permitted remixing.  There is an acknowledgement of your work, so far so good, but it breaches the conditions attached to the use of the design.

Cheerio,

While this one appears to be OK:

Of course - it's not a remix but an addition to my whistle. I liked it yesterday.

RE:

Groundhog day ...

Ten days ago I notified Prusa of the following two copyright infringements:

1.) https://www.printables.com/model/590507-8-khz-dog-whistle

2.) https://www.printables.com/model/590503-whistle

... nothing happened so far. Meanwhile, the violator earns Prusameters with my designs.

I wonder why there is even a button to report copyright infringement when these cases are only dealt with after being reported on this forum anyway...

Prusa rarely look at these fora, the report button is the best way - I have added another report as reinforcement.

It pays to make reports as easy as possible to process by supplying both URLs - it looks like Prusa deal with them in batches as they build up.

Cheerio,

RE: Slow processing of license infringement reports

I reported it too. How incredibly shamelessly stolen. I mean even the original photos were simply copied. 

RE: Slow processing of license infringement reports

Here we go again ...

I would have thought that things wouldn't get any slower, but I was surprised. More than 2 weeks ago I reported this entry, a shameless copy of my design on Thingiverse and Printables, in violation of my license and claiming it was his own design. A few days ago I made 2nd report, but nothing happened.

RE: Slow processing of license infringement reports

How are you reporting the violation?

RE: Slow processing of license infringement reports

In the intended way: with the report menu (3 dots) next to the name of the design.

RE: Slow processing of license infringement reports

When reporting this what should we call it? Would it be a “Copyright Strike”?

RE: Slow processing of license infringement reports

I reported it also.

Yes.

RE: Slow processing of license infringement reports

Thanks for reporting!

Anyway, the offending article is still online. I wonder if there is anyone at Prusa's house ...

I had similar situations with Cults3D and Makerworld. They always responded within 24 hours. Thingiverse is another thing, they are also no faster than Prusa.

RE: Slow processing of license infringement reports

Cults and Makerworld are much smaller databases.  I suspect that Prusa and Thingverse have a process that all complaints have to go through - call it "due process".   Based on my review of their databases, they probably are having a huge problem with people copying other designs.
