Fair Use vs Outright theft

No one likes to have their work stolen. No one like the thought that their work might be stolen.

Over on Redbubble, there is a Cat t-shirt contest. Yeah, I entered one of mine, but that's not the theft.

Today was voting day on which one you think is the best. I go there to place my vote on which one I like the best, and I spotted something. This . The 'artist' even said she nicked the design years ago off of a binaries group.

This T-shirt of mine is over 12 yrs old, probably closer to 15 yrs old.

Copyright issues aside, submitting someone elses' work as your own in a contest is just not right.
