Copyright question for the designers

[Chambers05]

You all are so creative! I'm so jealous! My question is do you have to worry about copyrights? I'm not sure of the specifics but my aunt's family wanted to have custom shirts made for their reunion a few years back and she said they couldn't have anything printed with Disney on it. I'm sure you all are legit...I'm just curious if any of you may know what she was referring to.

We are using under Free Use - no one is making a profit. If your Aunt wanted a T-shirt design and they take it to the printer to have it printed, the printer would be making a profit from copywritten material.

Under free use, we can use the images and people can print them themselves and create things.

The E.M.D. department at our high school (special needs kids) just went on a Disney vacation, and they had shirts printed with our school mascot (bulldog) wearing Mickey ears. I believe it may have been a donation, though.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for your reply!

So, can I clarify? Do you have to print these at your home only or can you take them to a store (i.e Kinko's, Office Depot) and print them there? Thank you for the clarification.

Educational use is a whole different set of rules for copyright. Under most conditions an educational institution can use any copyrighted material freely.

Most stores will NOT print them for you, you have to print them at home.
