speaking of Gazerock shirts, I saw it AGAIN on LJ a few days ago. Someone made it, was advertising it on a gaze comm., and was selling it at zazzle. what. some people just don't know what's copyrighted and what's not. I'm talking about it not to advertise further but just to tell people, just don't buy it. If you really want it, i guess you can make one yourself, but it's VERY WRONG to make profit off it or selling it in any way.
Me too. Which is why I signed up for Zazzle just to report all the crap that person made. And I wrote a huge rantful comment to his post. Well admittedly, I shortened it, but.. =_=
They emailed me and said that they'd check out my reports within 24 hours..
And I just went to check now and found that they removed all of his products EXCEPT for the Gazette Tshirts. I wonder why! I included proof of Gazette wearing those shirts and EVERYTHING.
:box: People, support fighting this evil cause and please just sign up for the danged thing and report it as many times as possible.. it seems one person isn't enough.
Dang. I just realized that maybe they didn't remove the Gazette items because they'd be the ones that would sell the most, probably.. and well, Zazzle might like their money just a bit too much. O_O
I was going to go to a shirt maker and order that style of shirt, then show them the design I want on it and ask if they can make it.
Uhm. That'd basically be the same thing as getting one through Zazzle and whatnot if you're getting someone to print it for you. The best option would be to buy a shirt and some fabric markers and draw it on yourself or to sew it or something, mm'k?
[EDIT: Oh. I just noticed you said WAS. O_O Sorry, I didn't realize the tense and um I sort of brought up this huge post from that and well.. it was never really meant just for you in the first place and so don't get offended and I apologize (again.)]
Because no service should do anything for you to create some type of copyrighted merchandise, it's completely illegal, even if you're just paying for their service, they're not allowed to do it. For example, this person who was on the Gaian Gazette forum said that she asked her mother to bring her magazine to some shop so they could make copies so she could put them up on her wall or something like that and they wouldn't do it because they said the images were copyrighted. Therefore even such services would be illegal..
Sorry for my huge ranting post. But this kind of stuff makes me really mad.
And sorry if it seems like I'm yelling at you O_O. I'm really not.. and anyway I haven't read the posts I've missed so I might've misunderstood something or whatever.
