Hi all,
most of you probably know about the massive model theft on anycubic site (makeronline.com).
They steal our models, use the same titles (mostly in spanish) and simply mirror our images. Those guys are literally doing this 24 hours a day.
I’ve reported tens of models but I think every one here should have a look on their site and report own models and any suspicious model.
just a few examples
could do this the whole day
i wouldn’t worry much about makeonline, their website is so bad and unpolished, i stopped posting there since long time (had to create an account there to report stolen design).
the user base there is very low and the download to print ratio is 0% the users seem either they are all thieves or they are all too lazy to post photos of your printed design.
not to mention the points system is glitchy inaccurate and lack of motivation and shipping cost on their products in insane outside the US.
You can report stolen stuff and they will take it down with an apology.

well, I was kind of concerned about my models living out of MW. The thing is, your models are stolen from MW to Makeronline; then from Makeronline ot whatever over site; and so on… So at a certain point it will be hard to prove that a model belongs to you. I mean, it’s a loss of control I don’t want to let be… But agree with you, Anycubic site is definitely a piece of…
Taking down your stolen IP will easy if its on 3D platforms, Etsy and amazon, but it is very hard to take down from Instagram, TikTok, and other e-commerce platforms, as we speak i got a massive hit on my views count just because google is showing search result of social media and website of e-commerce rather than my page on makerworld because my passive views coming from there.
i tried reporting them…insta rejected the claim and tiktok ignored the report, not to mention other websites that does not have copy right claims.
LOL man i found my designs being sold in Trendyol turkey, and some French, German, and Saudi websites (those stolen designs are exclusive to makerworld)
so like i said makeronline is your least worries - the real worry is SOME users in here.
I’m planning on posting a topic about it, I’m just cooking the words so that it does not sound like a rant.
