I'm not sure I agree that it's part of the sharing economy because the users aren't gaining income from assets they already own. Teespring is making sure that they control the platform that users need to continue doing business, similar to how Apple controls the App Store, Google with AdSense, Amazon, etsy, eBay, etc. If they can expand the offering beyond t-shirts, this is a really interesting way to open small scale production to a broader audience.
