i'm not gonna name names (pm me if you wanna know who it is).....

a few months ago i put a t-shirt on the site, wih a guy's face and name. now this is always a risk, coyright wise, as sometimes no one will mind, and other times you might get an email saying take it down. (i once had an email from a lawyer representing AOL because we'd used the same acronym for something else, but i digress...).

this time i got an email from the singer whose face/name i'd used. i explained to him that the site turns over dozens rather hundreds or even 1000s of dollars, and he emailed me back saying 'ok then, put the t-shirt back on, send me some figures, and you can be my official distributor in he UK'.

fooking great i thought, so i sent him some figures, which were, 100% of all profit from these t-shirts was to go to him.

then without warning, a few days later, i get an email from spreadshirt (the t-shirt printers) saying there has been a copyright infringement and i have to remove this design!

confused? well i was.

it was one of my favourite songs too, and now i can't even listen to it!!

not nice when yer heroes muck you around. although you could argue with force that i'd deserved it.

Thoughts?

Thoughts? Remove it and use another fabulous singers face

You could use my face and scare people

You could use my face and scare people

You could use mine and send my all the 100% profit

Mind you tha wont sell many!
