Sydney T-shirt label claims thousands of designs stolen and listed on Temu
Lonely Kids Club founder says AI may have been used to scrape his entire website and replicate designs on the Chinese e-commerce platform.
Warwick Levy, who has run Lonely Kids Club for 15 years, discovered thousands of T-shirt designs identical to his own listed for sale on Temu between 2025 and earlier this year. Levy said the discovery was "brutal" and suspects AI may have been used to scrape his entire website and replicate the designs.
The case highlights ongoing concerns about intellectual property protection on Chinese e-commerce platforms and the use of AI in mass-producing counterfeit goods.
