Reposting this link for those who missed it earlier: http://www.tabberone.com/Trademarks/trademarks.html Tabberone has fought this battle for many, many years and written a full account of it at her site. Read and learn about the First Sale Doctrine. --------------------- THE FIRST SALE DOCTRINE DOES NOT COVER DERIVATIVE WORKS. Do not listen to Tabberone. Their site VASTLY misrepresents the outcome of the court cases described. A settlement is not a declaration of copyright permissions. For example, in the La Enfantil v. Precious Moments case, the reason PM lost that case was NOT because it was deemed you can use fabric for any commercial use, but because the item in question - bedsheets - was deemed to be a non-derivative work. Tabberone doesn't mention that of coures, they just claim it means you can use licensed fabric for commercial profit however you like, which is completely untrue.
Honestly, whenever Tabberone gets brought up in these forums I roll my eyes. No one actually makes an effort to understand the law, they just read what they
want to hear - ooh, I can use fabric however I want - and believe it. Tiresome. |
