Hello, ROBLOX clothing designers! I apologize if I do send this in the wrong place, please remind me as this is my first topic written.
I’ve recently started creating clothing, but found that people have been copying and re-uploading it. Is there anything you clothing designers do to prevent such things from happening? I spend quite a long time creating clothing as a hobby, and it does hurt to see others copying and publishing the exact same thing and earning off my work. I am only a beginner clothing designer so my designs aren’t quite as valuable but it still hurts. I’ve checked the ROBLOX ToS, but unfortunately it says nothing about clothing copying. I would just like to know, is this unfixable or are you able to overcome this issue as a clothing designer? If you have any advice, please tell me. Thank you.
There is nothing you can really do. There’s no copyright on the clothes so it won’t cause issues for Roblox. But if your happy making clothes then don’t let re-uploaded clothes stop you.
It is totally possible to make non-intrusive watermarks, you can put it at the bottom of the torso, leg, etc, in general somewhere where it wouldn’t be the main focus.
Not possible to add any types of watermarks or backgrounds anymore that will prevent copiers. Recently, there was a program released to automatically remove watermarks and backgrounds.
I believe you can file a DMCA request, you can find out how to do so by searching “DMCA file roblox”. I can’t find the exact post, but there are plenty of devforum posts explaining how to do it. It’s a little bit complicated, but the copied clothing will be taken down for sure. Hope this helped!
