Hey all,
Im just looking for some help in regards to mug printing at the moment, alot of the mugs that I see on there would clearly be copyrighted.
i,e kids shows such as ben 10
how are people getting around the copyright issues with this?
Cheers,
Dan

Thanks for the post so long as Im not missing something lol. Think I'll stay on the legal side of things
In regards to getting a license to print for a tv show or anything in particular, is there anywhere that anyones aware of to buy a license or is it a case of writing in and asking them?
