Ouch! Should I be able to hear sound on this?
I have read the comments and there are lots of people doing this with all kinds of invitations or cards.
Zazzle definitely need to do something about this
Everyone should go and report this video.
@Zazzle - What can be done to prevent this from happening in the future? Noone would even know people are doing this if this was not made and shared. It would be great if your legal team contacted this person.

So this is what she is teaching everyone
1). Take a screenshot of any product that you like.
2). Go to VistaPrint and have said product made.
I had not planned on creating a TikTok account, but before I even read your post I had created an account so that I could report. I am astounded that it’s a photographer showing people how to steal intellectual property! @PacifierCity
Thanks for posting this @JaymeLee I finally got the sound working.
@MarilynR here’s your chance to create an account and learn about TikTok

- Throw the product away because using a screenshot of the design tool will result in a low quality image. They won’t realize this until it arrives in the mail.
She took her account to private but the video can still be viewed. She shows the products that were made via VistaPrint and they’re not blurry. https://v16-webapp.tiktok.com/54bb2bfd807a49a102d2c68458216fe7/621ab633/video/tos/useast2a/tos-useast2a-ve-0068c001/23ebc28569c54fc3ae13b4b0abd291c9/?a=1988&br=2392&bt=1196&cd=0%7C0%7C0%7C0&ch=0&cr=0&cs=0&dr=0&ds=3&er=&ft=XOQ9-3E7nz7ThD9b2DXq&l=202202261720270101890720721B9340BD&lr=tiktok_m&mime_type=video_mp4&net=0&pl=0&qs=0&rc=amw0NTU6Znc1NjMzNzczM0ApZWVnOTg2aGU5N2ZmZDkzaGcwL2BkcjQwcWtgLS1kMTZzc2MyMjUtMGEuXl81NWAtLy46Yw%3D%3D&vl=&vr=
Update - she made her account private; however, the video can still be viewed here: https://v16-webapp.tiktok.com/54bb2bfd807a49a102d2c68458216fe7/621ab633/video/tos/useast2a/tos-useast2a-ve-0068c001/23ebc28569c54fc3ae13b4b0abd291c9/?a=1988&br=2392&bt=1196&cd=0%7C0%7C0%7C0&ch=0&cr=0&cs=0&dr=0&ds=3&er=&ft=XOQ9-3E7nz7ThD9b2DXq&l=202202261720270101890720721B9340BD&lr=tiktok_m&mime_type=video_mp4&net=0&pl=0&qs=0&rc=amw0NTU6Znc1NjMzNzczM0ApZWVnOTg2aGU5N2ZmZDkzaGcwL2BkcjQwcWtgLS1kMTZzc2MyMjUtMGEuXl81NWAtLy46Yw%3D%3D&vl=&vr=
She is a thief plain and simple.
One of many … sadly, we cannot do anything to prevent people taking screenshots … or can we??
yikes
I was hoping for worse quality.
If you turn off customization while publishing then they can’t because they can’t open the design tool. The downside to that is it also makes it so customers can’t transfer designs (something that happens pretty often with me).
@Windy I reported it w/o creating an account. They did not have a stealing intellectual property option… but I clicked all the way through it report it anyway. She probably hid her account because a few of us reported her. The designer could sue her or report her for criminal activity. She should know better. I bet she’d be pretty upset if we went and found her photo shop and stole her photos and started making products from them… anyway.
The point is that you don’t need an account to report on tictok. That;s a good thing.

Someone should contact RusticWeddings and let them know in case they want to litigate. The thief’s email is at the bottom of the video, not to mention the info on the invite itself.
ETA: I contacted the store to let them know about this thread.
The hard copy ones that she admitted to stealing and taking to VistaPrint belong to PeachBloome. The demo on the screen that is used to “walk” people through stealing any invitation via Zazzle is under RusticWeddings… PeachBloome would have to litigate since the woman in the video admitted to using PeachBloome’s designs for her wedding and showed the hardcopy proof..
ah, okay I see that now. I contacted PeachBloome as well.
Yeah, the goal was to show Zazzle and the community what is going on… because in the video the woman states that you can and do several things…
1). save a lot of money doing this with “any invitation” that you like. It’s not just the ones in the video up for grabs.
2). People will get the idea and use whatever screenshot that they want of anything on Zazzle and take it to VistaPrint. VistaPrint offers a lot of products like Zazzle…
3). Screenshots are translating into products that aren’t blurry via 3rd party (such as VistaPrint) as the woman demonstrated in the video.
This is infuriating. I know we’ve seen this kind of thing before… idiots stealing our livelihoods. But her smugness makes me sick. Thank you JaymeLee for the heads up.
I’m just now realizing you were the OP.
I imagine that happens all the time here. VistaPrint is just as liable. Maybe someone needs to put some pressure on them as well.
The terrible thing is that these people probably think it is perfectly fine and legal to do these things. This one demonstrated her thievery to the world like she was not only justified but proud of figuring it out.
Yes, that’s not an option for me as I encourage customers to customize, transfer etc. But it is worth noting thank you!
