What's the deal with all the copyright infringement on Etsy?

Asked by Indiana_Bones (209points) September 21st, 2013

Etsy’s terms of service forbid any kind of copyright infringement pretty explicitly and offer tools to report infringement. Yet when I’m browsing, I see sellers all the time who have made hundreds or even thousands of sales of materials featuring licensed characters (i.e., Tardis t-shirts, Disney Princess phone cases and stickers, etc).

How are they able to do this? Or am I just missing something?
