Anyone seen these TIN SIGNS? My artwork traced & mass-marketed.Copyright Infringement

[Hamish-TSG]

Hi all.....first post here...some of you may be familiar with me from my illustrated car t-shirts on eBay - although that's in stasis pretty much due to the following very understated series of events:

Basic gist of this post is that I've been having a "bit of an issue" with an AU company who have commissioned a very well established US "artist" to trace my work & sell it as tin signs & clocks.
All my work available on web is clearly marked with copyright protection.
They're getting manufactured by a large US company with licensing deals with some of the biggest names in the motoring industry.
After a bit of to-&-fro, AU company finally offered a pittance as royalties. I wasn't impressed.
I contacted Big US company to ask them to cease production due to copyright infringement of my work.
Big US Co ignored me & continue to manufacture/export the signs & clocks (12 months on!).
As a result of contacting Big US Company & "the artist", AU Company pretty much tell me FU to any deal & continue to sell.
I then put in an objection notice into Australian Customs & Border Control.
Custom seizure occurs, proving flagrant & willing copyright infringement of goods already conceded to have been based on my work.
AU Company's aggression level rises.


Well...needless to say, I'm somewhat miffed. Each of my illustrations take a crapload of time to complete.

I have researched & know who the the online suppliers are. After contacting one of them I was "seriously warned off" by AU Company.
AU Company now tell me they'll force me to pay 20-30K in a copyright dispute case if I want to prove ownership over my own work.

Take a look at the pics below & judge for yourself.

What I'm hoping is that forum users may recognise the signs/clocks & please let me know any of the following info:
Whether you've bought any of the signs or clocks?
Whether you know where they may be being sold?
(probably best sent via a PM as I don't want to affect any business' reputation via this post, particularly as most will be completely unaware of the scenario)

Cheers, Hamish
