Hi all,
I know these are a dime a dozen, but I discovered a ripoff of my typeface Discotack on
this CreativeMarket account. The font they were selling was a direct copy of an earlier draft I had posted on Dribbble. I sent a message to the user and threatened legal action (admittedly, an empty threat) and they removed it from their store within minutes.
Just wanted to link this account here in case any of your work or in-progress work is being distributed here. Lots of familiar looking type here.

For anyone who saw your type or type from folks you know on this account: this user (Sgmnt/Daniil Toropov has accounts on many other sites (Creative Fabrica, Fontbundles, Designbundles, at least). I've submitted reports on the sites that have a way to do so, we'll see if they get taken down.
I'm sure plagiarism has been discussed here ad nauseam so not looking to do that. Just wanted to point this seller out to the community!
Well maybe ‘basic’ is out of place but Font identification tools exist, Monotype use it. Moreover if it's possible to identify a font (i.e. WhatTheFont) in a collection it shouldn't be a problem to identify a copy of a pre-existent font. Not to mention AI.
