gator Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 okay spent 3 days with a lot of artist at cyphacon in lake charles la., spent time talking to a lot of artist and this is what i learned. sand box. they call it sand box theory. these guys draw likeness of ninja turtles batman superman. you can sell these original arts but one guy I spoke with took the batman logo and put different flags inside of them and they were okay but now batman is going to sell them(they stole from him ) and have instructed them to not sell on line any more but can sell out of there stock. if you are doing something you get one pass basically and they seem to be more concern with on line sales rather than show sells. it boils down to this . if they come and tell you to stop selling your art of batman then the guy walking around in batman outfit has to take it off. THEY DO NOT WANT TO PISS THE PUBLIC OFF, you can sell art of any thing (you make) but if they decide to take and sell your idea you have to stop and there's nothing you can do about it. and you will get 1 stop letter no matter. nothing is legal until you are told to stop. was told by several artist that there are 2 people you never ever do. hello kitty and monster drink. hope this help so of you that are selling at shows Scrolling Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 I agree, you'll have more trouble with online sales than at a show. Lawyers can can use the Google, but aren't all that excited to go to craft shows. Many times you'll get a cease and desist order. Other times, especially with sports teams, they hire these firms that make your life miserable. They basically go out and actively seek out violators. Think of them as collection agencies. They earn their income based on lawsuits and settlements. CAPS is one group that I know of that has griefed a friend of mine. There are others that do the same thing.
