And capping off today’s space-related fun, someone swiped one of my t-shirt designs.

Everyone say hello to Betterthanpants dot com’s “funny shirt” about asteroids. It’s a direct lift of my design, and a pretty el-cheapo looking one at that. The original is, of course, over at Offworld Designs.
At least I can feel good that it’s amusing enough to steal, right?
Thanks to alert reader Sonia for giving me the heads up!





It looks like their only response to your copyright claim has been to lower the price on their stolen version. Now it’s half the price of the legit shirt.
I hope you at least sent them a letter… have to be diligent when protecting your copyrights!
Looks they took down the T-Shirt page. Guess they made their money but I’m still going on all of my geek forums to call them out on this.
Getting a 404 now, so presumably their lawyers woke up from their martini naps…
On the kind of good side, Neil deGrasse Tyson flashed your design on Twitter (https://twitter.com/neiltyson/status/302465037849743360). Hopefully, people saw the credits at the bottom.
