Heya everyone,
I have a question, and maybe its embedded in a thread somewhere here already (this site is massive! =D)
Anyway, do you have to get permission from companies if you want to use their logo? I know that seems self-explanitory, but here's my dilemma:
I want to allow customers to design their own shirt. If this means they want me to hand-draw a twisted looking carebear or a kid-type Cloud Strife than so be it. But, is that REALLY copyright infringement? I would almost consider that to be a specially requested art design for a shirt being sold to a SINGLE customer..not to the masses. I mean, obviously if I took actuly art work from, say, Grand Theft Auto and use it, yeah, I could say that makes me a bad bad girl. But what if I made a parody of it? What about all those Mr. Bubbles and Fraggle Rock type of 80s shirts you see too? Were those licensed deals given to a company to sell, so long as they shared the wealth?
I guess in short my question is, what CAN'T you do to pre-existing designs?
I r so confused!
Thank you and <3 you all!
