Hello! I've still got my own research to do, but I figured I'd start here because Google is seemingly obtuse on purpose sometimes. I sell t-shirts* on the side through some print on demand shops, and while I generally enjoy using their services, a copyright issue might be throwing a wrench in the machine. I do not need copyright advice, but I just want to point out that I am not breaching copyright. Anyway, with that and the fact they're divided into separate EU and US divisions, causing me to do everything twice, I figured it's about time I start looking around for better alternatives. Would anybody here, on this writer's forum, by magical chance have an idea on where I can hock my shirts? Something that could cover the US and EU (or, just worldwide, really) markets under one roof. Not that I really need it. The five people who even know I do the shirt-thing all live in the Netherlands, but I wanna pretend I'm a bigshot. Also, Mr. Bigshot is looking for free stuff. This whole shirt business is a side joke for me. All I'm willing to invest in for now is making an account somewhere. Feel free to DM me, if suggesting digital retailers might be in breach of some forum rules... Which I know, of course. I've memorized all the rules, obviously. *Originally had the typo "t-shits" which, to be honest, was still pretty accurate.
No, I guess that's the R that was supposed to go in the t-shits. I'm on a very tight letter-budget. Hm. Sometimes Freudian and unintentional honesty are the same thing, it seems. ;o) I will endeavor not to mention my mother and my penis in the same sentence for the rest of this post. Some new amusing info has popped up, by the way. I contacted the seller's legal department for more information on the copyright issue. Bit of context first: I've got four spoof-designs putting classical composers in a heavy metal album cover style, for reasons. The offending one is based on Type O Negative's October Rust in style and color, but it has Beethoven in corpse paint on it, so I figured there would be an issue with either Type O or Beethoven. Turns out, according to Legal, Gothic Beethoven looks a lot like Joaquin Phoenix in Joker. I won't bother you with my design or Joker-pictures, but take my word for it. I've compared it to several versions I had of the design, and in that Type O Negative style, it always ends up looking like the Joker. So now I have to wait about six weeks to hear back from Warner Bros to see if they agree with me or the seller. Oddly, the American division does allow the design, so consistency isn't really their thing.
