Is it illegal to sell T-shirt transfer models brand? There is a certain type of sale on ebay designs on t-shirt transfers for $ 5. They are models of such video games as a picture of Resident Evil which is clearly the area minus the word. Is this legal or would it be copyright or something? I was wondering because I once tried to sell those pictured, but it was illegal.
It is illegal if you do not have express permission to do so. You can get the licensing rights to reproduce logos, blankets, etc., but it can be very expensive.
yes
unless it has permission of the person making the drawings, which I doubt, it
Yes, this is illegal. Ebay is supposed to have a policy of this kind of thing, but does not apply. But again, you can buy stuff like that in retail stores too. It's a delicate situation.
its completely illegal, its also illegal to make an exact copy of a brand design in order to sell it. You can slightly mutate if his design for the art, the way Andy Warhol did with Campbell's soup drawings. If you want to sell T-shirts you should check http://www.cafepress.com/tomthefool
