Comment on Temu: UK artist's anger at finding work on site without permission

Temu are stealing her work and profiting from it. It matters - clearly there are a bunch of people who can afford to keep art alive who are spending their money at Temu rather than with her. Sort that out and then art can be less dependent on public spending and thus more robust

Isn’t Temu just a bunch of shady Chinese resellers in a trenchcoat like Amazon?

Temu sell it for just over the cost of production, while the artist sells it with a high mark up, there’s a difference in affordability.

  Well, kinda. Their cost of production is lower partly because they don’t have to pay an artist enough to feed themselves.

  Art takes time, money and creativity to make. Of course that’s going to be more expensive than downloading something someone else made and printing it out. Accounting for the time and costs that go into making art isn’t a high markup, it’s being paid for your labour.
