Twenty One Pilots sues Temu

[Teletubby 155,223]

Twenty One Pilots is suing the Chinese e-commerce giant Temu over allegations that the “unethical” company is flooding the market with cheap knockoffs of the band’s merchandise.

The “Stressed Out” duo, set to release its eighth studio album later this week, says the site is a “veritable swamp of infringing and otherwise illegal products,” including many that are “blatant copies” of its merch.

“Temu is widely understood to be one of the most unethical companies operating in today’s global marketplace,” the band’s lawyers wrote in a complaint obtained by Billboard. “Instead of policing its products to guard against infringement, it chooses to profit from sales of such products, in disregard of artist and brand rights.”

Artists are increasingly using legal measures to crack down on counterfeit merch. Last month, Benson Boone and Tate McRae’s merchandise partners each filed separate lawsuits over fake gear sold outside their concerts. Before that, Nirvana, Harry Styles, Rod Wave and many others had filed similar cases.

They should contact Boss and CEO for help. /s

In all seriousness though, good for them. Fight against fast fashion and its ways of ripping off artists.

Surprised more haven't already gone after Temu.

Like Temu goes as far as to use actual copyrighted photos from the brand its copying for some of its bootlegs. It doesn't even try to be slick about it
