: At present I am setting up my own T-shirt design company. Some of the screenprint designs I have designed myself, but there are a few designs which I have taken from other sources, eg.manga comics,1950's American packaging. The images from the packaging have already been used by another company, who have put them onto tins and ashtrays, I have just changed them slightly. I really need to know what I can use and what I cant, and how to copywright my own designs.
You may not get caught but if you do the courts even usually award the prevailing party attorneys's fees as well as actural or statory damages. DON'T DO IT!
I make a living doing Intellectual Propery Law. I can't afford to just give away what I do. With copyright for a resonable consulting fee I can show you what to do yourself and be aware of what you do and further legal insight into your current needs. If you call we can go voer the situation perliminarily and then see if we can make a comforable arrangement about fees. My system has crashed and I'm not sure if or when my email will be back.
