Let's say a midget we all know was working on a catalog for a client (through her job, not freelance).
Let's all pretend that this client does stuff like make personalized keychains, luggage tags, pens, etc. for companies as either promo peices or to give to their employees.
What if, for the photo shoot, all the different logos used (large car manufacturers, camera/film makers, etc) were all used on the products without the permission of the companies whose logos were used.
oh, and let's say the midget's boss also added a few logos (provided by the client) to use on some of the products.
Concern was expressed to the client about this, but they said they "had it covered".
How much hypothetical shit would the design studio be in?

I would say this is not hypothetical if your asking this hehhe :)

okay then, hypothetically, let's say JazX was the one working on a catalog and not the midget...

Hypothetically ... the midget's boss could be in trouble. Hypothetically ... an artwork release document may surface out of nowhere to be filed away in case of a hypothetic lawsuit.

it sounds like a promotional products catalog. i think it is common to see large companies' logos in those things. i wouldn't sweat it to much. worst that could happen is a company file cease & desist and that one logo would have to removed in future catalogs.

i'm not very fond of hypothetical midgets. i prefer level 12 mages with malfunctioning wardrobes.

I eat level 12 mages for breakfast.

hey squirt! don't you worry your teeny little head about it. it wasnt your call.
as for legalities and such, i would assume that your firm uses one regular lawyer for contracts etc. (assuming you are a fairly small firm)
call that dude up and get him to check.i dont know if the cease and desist thing would work after the catalogue was published. but then again i am not much very educaterized on the subjectness.
so sit back, enjoy an iced mocha. maybe even two iced mochas.

I hope you have picked out places for me to get my iced mochas when i invade!

U are not a midget my dear Michelle
U are just Very Cute
