Would I get into trouble if I printed a tshirt with an album cover on it?

[Nbg]

The site I'm doing it on harps on about copywriting but its not to sell its for a present.

Would this be ok?

bump

Which site is it? tbh there will prob be a copyright issue but who is ever going to come after you? perhaps if you were selling them by the hundreds then that would be a different matter.....

oh good lord I should hope so....look at all those markets around London and other places flogging their own printed t-shirts. Go for it! I think they just have to protect themselves.

Unless it's Metallica of course, they're right knobheads about that sort of thing

Also, how many people photocopy bits of books/mags...these things are protected too....but who would ever know???!!!!

its on photobox

Asda won't put photos on cakes unless you own the copyright. So even after buying a print and swallowing my embarrassment, they still wouldn't make a Robert KIlroy Silk cake for my nan's 70th!

I think that technically you should obtain permission but as someone said, who will ever check?

pmsl at rob silk cake

It is a breach of copyright as a photograph once taken is protected. It is due to the artistic style of the picture. I doubt 1 would be noticed though.

gahhh

i don't know what to do now.

If I were you I would go ahead.....it would cost them money to come after you and its not really worth their while tbh.....its not Nirvana's cover is it? Cos I have a fab picture of my nephew swimming underwater when he was 1!!!

lol no it isnt

its the smiths one which has a guy on the front wearing an army helmet saying "meat is murder".

my dad wants it.

Nbg search ebay for a seller that does printed t-shirts. They usually make one to youre requirements. Also AFMess you can get the printed icing sheets with whatever pic you want on it, I got a fab yoda one for DP (tho im sure George lucas wouldnt be very happy if he knew)

yeah do it

arghhhh

now i can't find a bloody image big enough.
grrrrrrrrr

Asda made me a Lionel Richie cake..(for my sister I hasten to add!) The pic was from an album cover though, not sure if it makes a difference.

I've just looked on ebay

Any good?

(Huge Smiths fan here!)

awww thanks tt

i managed to find one on a website and my mum bought it yesterday.
she did pay £2 more though and its exactly the same

I don't think anybody will try to prosecute you if you don't try to sell it.
