Crunchyroll sent me a DMCA Takedown Notice on TeePublic on MY OWN bull character design called :DelgadoHa: Delgado that I made for MY OWN worldbuilding project :MW: MOULE WORLD, with NO relation to any of their IPs.

This is the second time it happened. The first time was on April 17 on my same design, which I reuploaded believing it was a mistake. I submitted a counterclaim, but got a response saying TeePublic needed to comply with IP law.

My design that was removed twice. It’s the face of a cartoon bull character called Delgado laughing with tears of joy, that I designed as a custom emoji for my own worldbuilding project “MOULE WORLD” and doesn’t have any relation to Crunchyroll’s intellectual properties.

Screenshot of the email I got from TeePublic, white text in a red background, titled “Your Design Has Been Removed From TeePublic” and reading: “DMCA Takedown Notice Dear MOULE, We're sorry to inform you that an intellectual property claim has been filed by Crunchyroll, LLC against this design of yours on TeePublic: Laughing Bull Delgado How This Works: Unfortunately, we have no say in which designs stay or go. According to our Intellectual Property Policy and the law, we are required to remove designs when a rightsholder sends us a valid takedown request. For more information, you can check out this article or read the DMCA in full here. A Note From Us: We know takedowns can be frustrating and at times feel vague, but I hope you can appreciate that we have to comply with the procedures required by the DMCA and similar laws. If you truly believe this was a mistake or want to file a counterclaim, please don't hesitate to reply to this e-mail. Sincerely, TeePublic“

    What’s interesting is that Crunchyroll didn’t issue a DMCA Takedown Notice on my other original, not-Crunchyroll-related :Delgado: Delgado designs. It was only the laughing one that they took down, which made me suspect it was an automated takedown, so I uploaded it to TeePublic again and it got took down again. (It’s still on my Redbubble.)

    Again, I’m quite shocked that Crunchyroll thinks my own designs for my own worldbuilding project is somehow related to their intellectual properties.

    @MOULE I'd be sending a strongly worded email implying a lawsuit. This is fraud. Happens on YouTube all day. These companies need to learn their place.

    Just finished submitting my new track :Lampy: Lampy to independent blogs and radios.

    I'm so proud of how I mastered this track, I've put a lot of work into it and I'm so happy with the response it has gotten! :MOULE_Happy:

    You can listen to Lampy on at https://moule.bandcamp.com/track/lampy, as well as all platforms listed on https://hyperfollow.com/moule/lampy , where there's even Lampy merch and a cover art timelapse there too! :MOULE_Happy:

    Lampy's cover art. It has a blue, yellow, and white colour scheme depicting the eponymous blue robotic-like firefly with yellow glowing abdomen, yellow circuitry in its wings, a giant blue eye with two concentric yellow circles, and electricity flowing between its antennae. Its robotic arms and legs are outstretched in front of it and it faces rightwards. Lampy is in front of a blockchain blueprint of blocks hexadecimal addresses all starting with 1ab, showing Delcoin transactions between each address with arrows and the Delcoin symbol, an interlocked "D" and "C" symbol in a circle resembling a chain. Lampy is also in front of a giant version of this symbol stretching across the cover artwork and a magnifying glass with "CTRL" written on its handle.
