QUESTION
I make paintings that a dealer was buying for over three years. He photocopied my designs and is having other people duplicate my paintings. He has not bought anymore paintings since then and I see our designs for sale in shops all over the net and throughout the USA. Is there anything I can do? Our sales have dropped and we are hurting financially.
