Why not speak to them? You don't lose anything by listening. They will probably claim that the party you should go after is the person who put the design up and made the t-shirts available for sale. But if zazzle is actually selling and taking money on behalf of the merchant, they would or should bear liability as well. Disclaimers do not aid their cause. Hear what they have to say and think about compensation before you make the call.

 

Adam - while you are correct, the challenge he is having here is that the site prints t-shirts using designs sent from customers. It doesn't necessarily know that the design is copyrighted. The real culprit is the person selling the t-shirts with the infringing design. So while he can stop this web site from creating more t-shirts (and liability for printing), the distributor will find another outlet. This is why I'd settle with the t-shirt maker, who has a legitimate business and would prefer not to get sued, and try to obtain the client information.
