Title: k75 T-Shirt
Post by: technostructural on March 16, 2017, 09:59:18 PM: I've put together a design for a t-shirt for K75 owners. For copyright reasons, I don't think I can solicit sales/orders.

I'd love to hear what you guys think though!

Hmm. I wonder if by removing the roundel, we'd be in good shape?
I'm not an expert on this.

The drawings are from a copyrighted work and consequently their use is subject to copyright law.

Post by: technostructural on March 17, 2017, 10:30:42 AM: Well, the drawing was actually significantly modified into a graphic. An argument that there is sufficient skill and creativity to call it an "original work"? I suppose doubtful.

Skill maybe, but creativity, no. It's a reproduction regardless of the medium.

Likely the correct analysis.

Now, to relocate to Turkey or some jurisdiction not party to the Berne Convention so I can rake in the big bucks!

Post by: jay1622 on March 23, 2017, 10:19:46 PM: I hired a company, which indicated they'd do it, but without the roundel. Heck with it... I'm in! How about one with just the engine? Those in the know would appreciate it. Those that aren't in the know? Screw'em!
