Ridicule my user name all you want, but you are infringing on the use of the QBN logo when you produce and manufacture the shirts. you were putting the manufacturer of the shirt in a copyright infringement position because they are making copies of a logo that no one has a right to copy or make merchandise from, whether there is profit involved or not. How this is a discussion on QBN is beyond me.
- 1. Logos are trademarked, not copyrighted.
2. The logo doesn't appear to be trademarked. No ™ or ® or text to that effect evident.i_monk - If it's done as a parody or artistic purpose it's ok.robotron3k
- I don't think anyone's making money. If someone did, QBN could just go after them and force them to cough up the $14.87 they made.monospaced
- Who caresset
- it's all about the intent.Gnash
- also, manufacture has no exposure here. when you agree to print, you also agree to their terms -- which assigns liability to you.Gnash
- Hahaha lolz... sounds like you're having a midlife crisis... get yourself a t-shirt :)pedromendez
- don't buy that tesla x just yet, pedro. you may need a lawyerGnash
- Shit Gnash, you're right.. :) but hey on the positive maybe i can use my my midlife crisis divorce lawyer againpedromendez
- I think a competent TM lawyer could point at the decade+ history of knock-off merch here and argue QBN has failed to defend its claim to the TM.i_monk
- listen to you guys go. that's one way to justify theft of a logo you have no rights to, party on thieves.imbecile
- It seems you are defending a legal claim based on moral outrage rather than law.i_monk
- if QBN wanted to collect damages, they could, but I don't see how even these t-shirts are hurting them or taking their profitsmonospaced
- QBN is still protected under copyright and trademark laws. It's simply their choice if they want to follow through.monospaced
