Australian artists Emma Hollingsworth (Mulganai) and Karina Jambrak discovered original artworks being printed on blankets, pillows, wallpaper, phone cases, and other home products sold through online marketplaces including Temu.

Neither artist had licensed these products for commercial use. After filing copyright complaints, some listings and seller accounts were removed, but artists reported that altered versions of the artwork continued appearing through other sellers.

The report describes how independent artists often spend considerable time identifying copied products, documenting infringement, and submitting repeated platform complaints. It also notes that some marketplaces have introduced additional intellectual property monitoring measures after receiving verified copyright reports from artists.
