is it something that he can sue for? because it is technically HIS company's design. and if he can, he should, not for the money, but to make a statement

I feel like all merch shouldn’t be creator-centric and I love the way Eddy describes it. Speaking as a kid, no one wants to wear a shirt with a face of a random person slapped on the front to school or something. That’s how you get weird looks and bullies.

It's not uncommon for advertisers to do that. If Eddy decided to advertise his own store and if he was willing to pay more for one click than teespring, he would be on top. That's how advertising works. Sucks for smaller stores though
Edelig the issue is that those shirts are straight up illegal, eddy and potentially the artist who created the yikes design are the only people with the commercial rights too it, eddy could technically sue but because it’s just some guy in teespring selling it probably out of india or some other country where eddy wouldn’t see a dime of the money he’s owed (which is probably a crazy amount based on the traffic these sites seem to get)

Hey you need an attorney to go after these stores bc it’s copyrighted material. You’re probably at the point in your career where you should have one if you don’t already but I believe that’s something they should be able to help with. That and building up the credibility of your own website through SEO, basically proving to the Great Google Algorithm that your site is the one people are actually searching for. Google wants people to find the right result, and right now the scammers are doing a way better job with the online marketing portion unfortunately
Im pretty sure he wont get away with trying to fight other people to sell merch using the word yikes on it. But the blatant ripoffs of the design and fighting them will be too much of a hassle. He should find something else.
I think he's in a more better off position by nit hiring a lawyer and seo specialist cuz of how costly and time consuming these things tend to get. I mean that's lowkey why i feel the ripoff industry got so big in the first place.
@@YeOleBaz Well, he could still get advice about what situations actually would be worth taking action against. The small scam stores may not be worth it, but teespring using him in ads might actually be something he could stop.

Ye Ole Baz But they’re not just selling shirts with “yikes” on it, they’re ripping off Eddy and Leighton’s design, intercepting his SEO, and scamming his fans
I just found your channel like just now and I just subscribed and I’m going to be buying your merch to support you on Friday when I get paid. Now I’m about to binge watch all your videos lmao
The redbubble rights are so weird cos lots of things get past but when I put a hunger games fanart piece up, it gets taken down even when there are so any other hunger games designs up that are straight photos from the movies. It's very confusing and hard when you are an artist trying to make a couple of extra bunks
Back when he was on Crowdmade, he had hats. And I gotta say, it's a baller hat, wear it every day. Hope he brings it back. Need different colours of it.
Literally I found a yikes hoodie on Teespring. I was going to buy it thinking it was official, but found out it wasn’t and didn’t buy it. People need to stop stealing other people’s stuff.
kpopisgoodd same! So many creators use teespring so I was like oh this must be it! Then a few days later Eddy relaunched and I was like oh my god they almost got me
MeganBeeHive I’ve run into so many websites that it confused me which website was official. I don’t buy merch that often so when I do want to buy it, it’s always other unofficial websites that pop up advertising it. 😐🙄
FrankFckngWest Honestly, Eddy is mad at the people stealing his ideas and using them as their own. The fact that you wanted to support him and buy a hoodie, not knowing it was unofficial, probably won’t bug him.
artists have to deal with this sort of thing with everything they make from stolen art accounts to people reselling what they make on these types of cites making fake merch and such. This is n't something unique, it is a known issue but one that MUST be dealt with
I remember when Drew made the stickers in retaliation and I bought one! I always got comments on it and it was one of my most favorite pieces of merch I've ever bought!
This kind of theft is a microcosm of what happens in the fashion industry generally. I like to put fast fashion brands on blast for stealing the designs and ideas of small designers because there's nothing you can do about it legally 99% of the time, the only thing you can do is to stop supporting those brands
Lemme just say your merch is the best merch I’ve ever gotten and legit its a staple in my wardrobe I love it so much and I have made friends at school seeing others who wear your merch. Personally whenever I see someone wearing it I tend to have this “secret code” thats like “Boys support Boys!!!” Thanks for bringing people together with just one word on a sweatshirt😂
Awesome video!!! Love your channel!!! You’re funny af and I especially love your reviews of good bad movies!!! A set of movies that I don’t think you reviewed yet that I believe you would love are films made by Neil Breen. He made “Faithful Findings”, “Double Down”, “Twisted Pair”, “Pass Thru”, and “I am Here... Now”. These are awesome good bad movies for both the filmmaking aspect as well as the stories his movies tell. They are rare gems that I think you’d enjoy watching. Maybe one of them could be a reaction video when there’s a time when you need content. Keep up the awesome work!!! Can’t wait for the next video!!!
Genuine advice. Look into SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) and it should help with the order of your store. (Could you give this a cheeky like so Eddy can see this? Cheers guys.) :)
This is all I could think for most of the vid 👍🏾 yes the stores are ripping off the design but the page result placement is almost completely an SEO/SEM thing. The “ad” that just led to the Teespring Homepage wasn’t even an ad, just a highly optimized link.
the other day my boyfriend showed me a shirt he wanted from some wesite that sells t-shirts and I actually recognised the original artist and was able to tell him "don't buy it from this site, it's stolen, the artist has their own site" and after a lil digging we found it but holy shit people must get tricked into buying fake/stolen shit all the time and straight up not know especially if the design becomes popular
Type "yikesshop.com" into the Google search bar (not the URL bar) and it'll bring up the link right at the top. Make sure to actually open the website to help boost Eddy to the top of Google's search results.
@@NickC_222 Also going directly to the link might not help with page ranking anyway. You want people to search and click on it as well if you want it to move up the search results
The boring explanation for the weird review is SEO (search engine optimisation). Keywords push pages further up Google results because people are likely to search for it, so that stupid website just used a review to increase the keyword density
My sweet boyfriend wanted to get me a thoughtful Xmas gift, and he knows how much I like TMG/Cody and Noel’s vids. So he googled TMG merch and got me a cropped hoodie with the TMG logo on it. It was so thoughtful of him, but he fell for the fake merch sites, because it was prolly the top result, as you are talking about. So anyways... I let him know that it was fake mech (but that I obviously loved the thought behind it) and he was really pissed because he thought he was buying the official merch - because he wants to support them and not some company that rips off their designs. I told him it was fake, because it was such a thoughtful gift and I hope to have many more holidays with him and I know he obviously wants to buy the real merch as gifts (and not support these dumb companies). It happens to your fans directly, but I bet getting fake merch is even more common for people buying merch as gifts. Which sucks because it is likely a thoughtful person buying it.
I do care, that's lame, poor guy went to all the effort and he just got swindled. Dude just wants to be a good boyfriend but the internet won't let him.
As someone who has ran 2 sites over the past 11 years, I would really recommend taking some courses about SEO or just hiring a professional to do your site SEO. The name of my business is very broad, and would always be super far back in the google search pages, but now it is number 1 (for the past couple years). I have taken a ton of time to tag literally every page, item, etc on my site, so it is easier to search on google. How to do this depends on how you are hosting your site, but I really recommend trying to do a bit more, because it helps a ton. I will say though that it will take time, even with great SEO, just because of the way google works.
Literally went to buy merch the other day and all I could see was Teespring etc. on the first page, and I just assumed there was no Yikes merch out at that time as it wasn’t on the first page. Hope this is sorted soon not just for you, but also fans so they get a quality product with little risk at being done over.
Ben and Cristine from Simply Nailogical mentioned you in their last 5-10 minutes of podcast on copyright vs trademark laws and how they handle similar situations.
I've never seen this channel before but this is some of the best merch I've ever seen 11/10 opened the link 5 times and probably buying some merch once the paycheck hits
for the last couple of years, I won't even google it. I specifically try to find a link on a creators video or tweet and i encourage everyone else to do the same.
To help, i opened the link like 20 times on my browser and can i just say, i really like how the site changes colors. That's so cool. I will visit your site just to see the different colors. Absolute Modern Marvel of Technology.

But yikes is just a word that he doesn't own. So if they steal his design that's obviously not okay, but he doesn't have the Monopol on the word yikes
"see me kissing the air? that means i care" absolute bars
I stumbled upon this video because of Drew and I just wanted to say I’m so sorry for all you’re going through, I hope it gets better :)
artists have to deal with this sort of thing with everything they make from stolen art accounts to people reselling what they make on these types of cites making fake merch and such. This is n't something unique, it is a known issue but one that MUST be dealt with
Eddy looks like Julien Solomita's angry brother.
lol
*cousin
@@4nastas1ya *brother
yes.
I remember when Drew made the stickers in retaliation and I bought one! I always got comments on it and it was one of my most favorite pieces of merch I've ever bought!
This kind of theft is a microcosm of what happens in the fashion industry generally. I like to put fast fashion brands on blast for stealing the designs and ideas of small designers because there's nothing you can do about it legally 99% of the time, the only thing you can do is to stop supporting those brands
Lemme just say your merch is the best merch I’ve ever gotten and legit its a staple in my wardrobe I love it so much and I have made friends at school seeing others who wear your merch. Personally whenever I see someone wearing it I tend to have this “secret code” thats like “Boys support Boys!!!”
Thanks for bringing people together with just one word on a sweatshirt😂
Eddy: *kisses the air*
Me: *goes to catch it through the screen* ah he really does care
“Road work ahead? Uh, that’s not my job” got me
Awesome video!!! Love your channel!!! You’re funny af and I especially love your reviews of good bad movies!!! A set of movies that I don’t think you reviewed yet that I believe you would love are films made by Neil Breen. He made “Faithful Findings”, “Double Down”, “Twisted Pair”, “Pass Thru”, and “I am Here... Now”. These are awesome good bad movies for both the filmmaking aspect as well as the stories his movies tell. They are rare gems that I think you’d enjoy watching. Maybe one of them could be a reaction video when there’s a time when you need content. Keep up the awesome work!!! Can’t wait for the next video!!!
Genuine advice. Look into SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) and it should help with the order of your store. (Could you give this a cheeky like so Eddy can see this? Cheers guys.) :)
Yeah hopefully he sees this it's true.
Right now the link just says Eddy Burback when you look on google. I feel like he should add Yikes Merch to it.
This is all I could think for most of the vid 👍🏾 yes the stores are ripping off the design but the page result placement is almost completely an SEO/SEM thing. The “ad” that just led to the Teespring Homepage wasn’t even an ad, just a highly optimized link.
Drew: “I’m gonna go buy one of your shirts from teespring.”
Also Drew: _is already wearing a yikes shirt_
hes doing it just to support content thieves
@@24601st He's not actually gonna buy the fakes, it was a joke. Also shirt he's wearing is probably real
collab more please I love you both so much! now i really want to buy your merch now- it worked
drew is 'road work ahead' guy 😭, how did i not know this
My FBI agent wondering why I've opened the same tab 76 times:
Me: *i ' m h e l p i n g*
This tab is trying its best
Us, the children of Burback need to find the correct website in order to give our leader as much money as possible.
I like this video bc it’s kinda like an eddy video with a secret drew video in the middle
Dude I lost it when the part of “FRUCK YOU DREW” I absolutely LOST it
the other day my boyfriend showed me a shirt he wanted from some wesite that sells t-shirts and I actually recognised the original artist and was able to tell him "don't buy it from this site, it's stolen, the artist has their own site" and after a lil digging we found it but holy shit people must get tricked into buying fake/stolen shit all the time and straight up not know especially if the design becomes popular
Yeah it happens alot with fanart.
@Dahlen Olson sounds like you don't know what simp means 👀
@Dahlen Olson simp is about has much has a overused pointless word like that of boomer
I want “I’m sure think it did” merch
Lowkey, check red bubble in a couple of days 🙄
Now, years later, it’s the first result when you search yikes merch
leighton stollard huh…
Exactly what I thought…
I've been watching Eddy's stuff lately to fill the Supermega shaped void in my heart, and hearing Leighton's name literally made me flinch.
Who are you and what did you do with Eddy. It isn’t July yet he shouldn’t be uploading
I searched “eddy burback shirt” and didn’t find it on the first 5 pages. That sucks
I searched for it. Found it on the 3rd page..... below this video.
Type "yikesshop.com" into the Google search bar (not the URL bar) and it'll bring up the link right at the top. Make sure to actually open the website to help boost Eddy to the top of Google's search results.
@@NickC_222 Also going directly to the link might not help with page ranking anyway. You want people to search and click on it as well if you want it to move up the search results
I didnt find it in the first 7 pages
I found it as like the 5th link with only the tee spring shop above it the others were reddit twitter and CZcams
The boring explanation for the weird review is SEO (search engine optimisation). Keywords push pages further up Google results because people are likely to search for it, so that stupid website just used a review to increase the keyword density
drew also wearing the yikes work showing that he supports Eddy’s work makes me really happy- they’re both such cool people
My sweet boyfriend wanted to get me a thoughtful Xmas gift, and he knows how much I like TMG/Cody and Noel’s vids. So he googled TMG merch and got me a cropped hoodie with the TMG logo on it. It was so thoughtful of him, but he fell for the fake merch sites, because it was prolly the top result, as you are talking about. So anyways... I let him know that it was fake mech (but that I obviously loved the thought behind it) and he was really pissed because he thought he was buying the official merch - because he wants to support them and not some company that rips off their designs. I told him it was fake, because it was such a thoughtful gift and I hope to have many more holidays with him and I know he obviously wants to buy the real merch as gifts (and not support these dumb companies).
It happens to your fans directly, but I bet getting fake merch is even more common for people buying merch as gifts. Which sucks because it is likely a thoughtful person buying it.
i dont care
@@spicyboy8484 then... Don't read it?
I do care, that's lame, poor guy went to all the effort and he just got swindled.
Dude just wants to be a good boyfriend but the internet won't let him.
@@spicyboy8484 Very profound and insightful thank you for commenting
@@Emma-zc5jm how will i know if i dont care if i dont read it
my new quarantine goal: get eddy’s link to the top of google results
I googled Eddy Burback Merch 9/17/23 and he is #1. made me feel good
6:10 "see me kissing the air? that means I care!"
*”see me kissing the air? that means i care.”*
*- eddy burback 2020*
_i mean it’s smart. cause of the thing._
Server: "How is your meal so far sir?"
Eddie: "Spaghetti"
Server: "Yes I see that but how's your meal?"
Eddie: "SPAGHETTI"
???????
His name is Eddy. Just wanted to point that out cause my name is Eddy and I hate it when people do that.
Eddie needs to do a limited run of Spaghetti merch
Seeing the link now be on top and teaspring is second does bring a smile to my face
As someone who has ran 2 sites over the past 11 years, I would really recommend taking some courses about SEO or just hiring a professional to do your site SEO. The name of my business is very broad, and would always be super far back in the google search pages, but now it is number 1 (for the past couple years). I have taken a ton of time to tag literally every page, item, etc on my site, so it is easier to search on google. How to do this depends on how you are hosting your site, but I really recommend trying to do a bit more, because it helps a ton. I will say though that it will take time, even with great SEO, just because of the way google works.
I just realized Drew is 4 years older than Eddy, and I don't know how I feel
Literally went to buy merch the other day and all I could see was Teespring etc. on the first page, and I just assumed there was no Yikes merch out at that time as it wasn’t on the first page. Hope this is sorted soon not just for you, but also fans so they get a quality product with little risk at being done over.
the lil kisses after him saying “i would never do that to you” is so wholesome & makes my heart so happy 🥰
Ben and Cristine from Simply Nailogical mentioned you in their last 5-10 minutes of podcast on copyright vs trademark laws and how they handle similar situations.
I want to know what psychopaths have “road work ahead” shower curtains
con artists: It's not "sToLEn", it's just *heavily inspired*
Why is this giving me Grunkle Stan vibes?? 😅
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a gravity falls reference
@@blobfish7109 I recently got into the series, I've been dropping a lot of GF references at random in the comments of a bunch of different videos
watching this 2.5 years later and yikes shop is now the top search result makes my heart happy
I've never seen this channel before but this is some of the best merch I've ever seen
11/10 opened the link 5 times and probably buying some merch once the paycheck hits
for the last couple of years, I won't even google it. I specifically try to find a link on a creators video or tweet and i encourage everyone else to do the same.
To help, i opened the link like 20 times on my browser and can i just say, i really like how the site changes colors. That's so cool. I will visit your site just to see the different colors. Absolute Modern Marvel of Technology.
It's March 2021, and he's the #1 result on google for his merch. Justice.
