Huge department stores like Target, Walmart, Kohl’s, JC Penny’s, etc are NOT doing it illegally. They’re not stupid. Read my recent post about fraud. It’s something you want nothing to do with. Attorneys fees are $$$$$$. You will lose and they will take everything from you. Imagine if someone stole something from you and was making lots of cash off it. How’d that make you feel? It’s wrong. They’re seriously cracking down on this fraudulent industry just don’t do it.

This is all well and good, but every t-shirt marketplace is like 70% copyright infringement material. Does anyone ever actually get in trouble? Or do the designs just get taken down?

if you are using copyrighted material to generate profit then you are definitely going to be sued, but if you are printing a copyrighted material for you own private use then you should be just fine.

@Ysr Aks fair use is a legal defense, not a law. there's a lot of "parody" designs and straight up copied designs on the internet and most of them won't get sued bc the big companies will not bother wasting their time on them. however, if the possible monetary gain is big enough, they can definitely sue you. so basically, they usually have bigger fish to fry until you become the bigger fish.

dude. best copyright explanation I've watched or read. super easy to follow and understand. much appreciated.

Very happy you covered this topic, helpful for clothing brands and other non-clothing related businesses as well. 👍

I have seen many KZreadrs put their names along with other IP's on their merchandise and wondered if it was legal for them to do it. So apparently, most of them are flying under the radar and are on borrowed time with selling their merchandise. This video made everything clearer, thanks!

Thank you so much for this because it seems really complicated to create a brand because there are so many rules and regulations

Contact a lawyer. Videos like this are good for getting a very general idea of what may or may not be legal, but if you've got an actual case contact an actual lawyer because it always depends on a wide variety of factors. But if the story is true, and you have the means to prove that in court, you have a very good chance of winning the case and getting paid damages. EDIT: Also, just out of curiosity... is it the girl watching a house burn down with a smile? :D

So if i use "Scar" and i put "2" scars on him or remove the scar . Would that work as far as using him on my design ?

as an artist and owner of a brand, the prestige i get when people buy my shirts because they like it is really satisfying. I know each time i get an inquiry they're not there just because of some popular character i put up on my shirt but because of my own creative inputs

Does this include fan art? For example what’s going on Etsy?

So I am curious if I created a design for one of my shirts that is similar to another companies t-shirt designs and i had literally never even heard of them before. Some elements are similar and it be potentially confused, they are claiming i copied their work.. How would you handle the issue? They had been selling their design longer than i have, so not sure what to do other than check with a lawyer potentially.

And I guess the next question would be what is a very reliable t-shirt company that would do the quotes that aren't to expensive that I would actually make a profit? Thank you ahead of time for all your answers I appreciate them I'm thankful that I discovered you.

how do you get approval from the owner of the said intellectual property? and what cost are we looking to? (pardon my english im french canadian)

Very helpful video! Thank you brotha! 🙌

Thank you for this info. But would I be at risk of getting into trouble if I'm able to draw the character or something very similar to the character and I use the video game character's name?

So, if I make a collection of Sonic pins but with an original design that nobody has used, one with Sonic, one with Tails, and one with Knuckles, and sell them online, would I get sued? It's really a grey area. Should I contact Sega for permission? Or should I go along with it, just with a company that sells that type of stuff

Great video man but I have a question. Are you able to use a Athlete or celebrity’s likeness if it your own illustration? And let’s just say your not using their name to market it that your using a nickname of theirs?

Great vid that explained this very well. Thanks :)

so for example a brand name is called " strike first TM" and if i wanted to use that as a phrase on my tshirt brand, can I put "strike 1st" followed by my brand name, can i do it since its not the same spelling?

My experience says, it’s better to create your own characters or copyrighted work. The amount of money you make by infringing is too little and the risk of losing money due to a lawsuit is much higher. But with your own IP and some patience, you will make the most money! And of course you can get permission but it’s easier said than done.

Thanks for a great vid Rob!

Lets say I want to print a public photo of a Instagram model on a tee shirt for personal use with the name of the photographer. is that fair use or am I still at risk of being sued?

To add to my previous questions.. I forgot to ask if I do use a quote do I put it down on the t-shirt can it be smaller writing something like. The name of the show the season and episode number and the date.? Could I leave that information out and just put only the name of the TV show?

Very interesting video !!! But i still have question regarding the parameters of copyright and patent process. I am a leather jacket manufacturer and have my own jacket factory but i am really confused regarding the jacket styles. For example my biker leather jacket design looks same as 100s of other biker jackets from different companies. So my question is: Can a generic deisgn be patented of copyrighted. For example evry t-shirt in the world has a round neck deisgn, so can a company go and get a patent for round neck design to stop other companies to manufacture round neck t-shirts? Please note im not taking about the brand name or any specific pattern or deisgn on the t-shirt but i am taking about the basic design in clothing. I get inspiration from a lot of online leather jackets and i want to make the same designs in my factory but obviously without the pattern or label of the company from whose website i am getting the design ideas.

Here's a helpful tip: On Google Images, type in "blank black tshirt" or whichever type of shirt you want in blank - but be sure to go to "TOOLS" at the top and filter the results by "Usage Rights" and select " Labeled for Reuse" or "Labeled for Reuse with Modification". All of these results will be images you are able to use on your own website. You can also try contacting the company that you get your blank t-shirts from and ask them for blank images. A lot of the time they have a catalog for this exact purpose. Other than that, if you are looking for quality blank images you are going to have to grind it out and find them through hard work. We all use different types of blanks and different styles so each individual owner has to dig deep to find the blank images they want to use. I hope that helps!! Cheers

Ok here’s a good 1. I make custom patented fretboards on bass / guitars. I add sticker inlays with any color combo. I wanted to add “purple and gold” stickers on fretboard and sell them online as “laker team color fretboard custom designs”. Here’s my questions: 1. If I sell online can I add a licensed laker sticker on the body? 2. Can I include a license Lakers sticker with bass that they put on? 3. Can I show the sticker on the bass in the auction even if I don’t include it with the sticker? 4. Can I sell the guitar saying it’s a Lakers team color but not include any sticker with it and ask them to add it or include links so they can buy them online seperate? The main issue is with adding a sticker to it or advertising it as being Laker colors? I will state it is not affiliated with Lakers in auction. I plan to show pics of bass with stickers on my social media pages to attract buyers but on auctions include no stickers in pics. It is important I can write “laker team colors” in auction title to get views.

If I have a business license and take just a photo of tupac off google and heat press it to my shirts, and sell them. Will i than get in trouble?
