They give their location as NYC in one place and the UK in some of their counter notices. I very much doubt the name they are providing is real either. When Etsy doesn't give a s**t on this level there's not much that can be done. It's like trying to get one of the old Warez sites to take action in the early 2000s.

Do you have Etsy shop?
I have, and for sure that what you're saying about owners id is not real: it's required to know valid credit card and real bank info with real name to be payed. So Etsy for sure knows exactly the real person behind every shop, despite of nickname

Oh yeah, Etsy probably know who they are. They just don't care that they are filling out different/ false information on legal documents to cover up their theft.
They consider it to be nothing to do with them. Of course they care when it's information required for them to get their cut of the dirty money.

Let's just keep filing against this person. Maybe Etsy will take down the shop.
It's been frustrating dealing with Etsy infringers. They think they can sell something because they found it on Google or because 20 other shops are selling it. And when you say a design belongs to you, they want proof and they don't believe it unless it's on the US copyright website.
Etsy makes me appreciate the approach that Shutterstock and Adobe Stock takes. They take down the images and ban entire accounts if more than a couple people file a DMCA request. Etsy is a clusterfuck. The US need to change the law on this Safe Harbor nonsense, because like you said. Etsy is not going to do anything because they like the dirty money.
Uncle Pete:
When someone with enough money and power, files a lawsuit, that's a start. If some big law firm sees that they can make a bundle of money on a class action suit, they will jump on this and have 30,000 of us as clients. We won't get pennies but the precedent will stop the abuse and stop the protection of robbers and thieves, for profit.

Right, Etsy and anyone else who only takes down individual files for complaints is hiding behind the laws and making money from turning a blind eye on crooks.
I'd say write to your congressman or senator but we're too small and they only care about political issues that can get them votes. If we were green or some politically correct complaint, minority group, or ethnic group... then something would change fast. We are just individual self employed entrepreneurs, not of interest to getting power for them or re-elected.

BigSVGBundle is one of the biggest snakes at Etsy. I think a lot of people have already reported her, but Etsy is still keeping her shop active. I wonder if notifying companies like Disney would get them to throw their weight around and get shops like these banned for good.

Yes, I am aware. We don’t know who this person is and the address she gave you is probably fake. Map the addresss on her counter claim and see where it is.
Counter claims with fake information is a violation of Etsy’s terms of service. While I’m doing my part, please let Etsy know if the address she give is fake, so they can investigate. This person giving false information on a counter claim may be the best weapon against her/him and get the shop taken down.

Prepare to be super annoyed with Etsy. They don't care. You will get a stock copy and paste answer about how they "can't get involved". I have had it multiple times when pointing out a blatantly fake counter notice (false details etc.) . Lying leaves the crook open to perjury charges, good luck suing someone you know nothing about in a foreign country over stolen stock images. It's why I'm so p**sed on this and the other thread.

Shop is gone, along with many others. I guess the barraged of DMCA takedowns worked.

Hoooooooooray. That's what I am talking about. We need to stay united and stop losing hope.
Take a look at the big fish https://www.etsy.com/shop/BigSvgBundle
He is gone because we are united.

I found few of my vector reselling as .svg and .eps files in this Etsy shop:

I submitted DMCA claim to Etsy.
I recognized other contributors popular illustrations too. Check this shop for your illustrations.
