The ethical issue around Threadless is the fact that its worldwide so people may copy each others ideas of prints that the people in other countries have not seen before and they could take the credit for someone else's design.
The benefit of this online community being worldwide is that it connects people from other countries. Threadless also connects people from around the world with similar interests in T-shirt designing.
Threadless lacks validity of the designs as you never know if the T-shirt designs are original or not. Another negative factor of the website is all the teenage jargon within the website.
