I’m currently in the process of creating a Roblox Clothing Group and I had a few questions regarding “Copying Clothing”. To get straight to the point I’ve hired around 3 clothing designers now for pretty good pay and percentage of profits. What I’m afraid of is one of them purposely copying clothing from other amazing designers and send it to me and I would have no idea or them trying to create a design that is too similar to others. Mostly what I’m wondering is what the punishments are if one of them was to copy clothing without me knowing. I also was wondering what I do if someone is to copy my own designs and how I stop it.
Hey! Personally myself I’m not entirely sure as to how you know it’s original, the art. I know there’s a website, but I can’t remember the name.
I also suggest you find an outfit from Pinterest (for instance) and ask them to design that. If they design that, and you like it, I suggest you hire them. If they, later on, were to copy, I would not show any hesitation, I’d ask them to put the clothes off-sale and then rank them to a different rank.
It’s hard to prevent people from copying your designs but I recommend adding your own watermark on it (under torso, on the sides, under shoes, neck, etc.) Most well-known designers have their own watermark as a signature so people can tell if the design is stolen or not. You can also tell if your designers’ work is original or not based on the way they shade for each of their designs.
The punishments for copy clothing vary. You can get the clothing taken down, get your group locked, or both. I recommend checking over your designers’ work before letting them upload.
Another way to see if anyone has stolen your design or if the clothing is original is by using the Discord bot “Only Originals.” For more information on this, you can message me.
I don’t think the bot has been fully released yet to be able to invite to your own server. It will in the future. For more information about the bot, you can check out this Twitter post. The Discord invite link is also attached to the post.
