DaddyTypes is getting this from Google Translator, mind you, but from what us non-Portuguese speakers can tell, it seems like good news for Pomar:

This is just crazy. I had been getting lots of feedback from people regarding the pirating of items from etsy here:

This is horrible, and who knows if it’s not affecting other indie crafters?
