Ali is totally involved on a daily basis...he's constantly in contact with me, and i can only imagine every other one of the limited edition printed guys too... i think any art contract is worded to screw the artist or benefit the company somehow or other. i challenge anyone to find a site that doesn't. as a three time winner at threadless, i still don't like the idea that they can reprint your design infinitely and you get no recompensation or royalties, yet thousands submit there weekly. long story short, let the site get its legs. i haven’t been ripped off yet!

The site's registry traces it back to a notorius spyware vendor. http://who.godaddy.com/whois.aspx?domain=mojizu.com&prog_id=godaddy http://sunbeltblog.blogspot.com/2005/10/rumors-of-mindset-interactives-demise.html I don’t think Mojizu actually cares about helping “character designers gain the exposure they deserve” as much as they do getting spyware on your computer.

This is in queue along with a bunch of other programming stuff – as we are in beta our programmers are working practically around the clock. It may be a few weeks before the opt out button is there, but in the meantime, we have noted your desire and any Moji you choose to submit will not have merchandise." So they will be implementing an "opt out" in a future release, as soon as they do I am going to be happily uploading away. I just got a very nice email back from the good folks at Mojizu
