Hi
Am new to the Dye-Sub game and have literally just ordered my kit. A great forum and a ton of useful advice i am wading through.
Using Terapeak to do market research on Ebay and see that the vast majority of high selling dye-sub goods are those that infringe copyright such as artists, movie characters, footballers etc. Having read various threads on here i understand those doing this are breaking the law and in time the authorities will catch up with them (although some have 30000+ feedback and have been getting away with it for a long time. Calveros appears to be the best seller yet all of his merchandise bears brand names etc).
However i have been to old trafford on numerous occassions and literally on every street corner there is non-official merchandise with players team names etc being sold. Cannot believe with the quality or content of these goods that this is licensed. So surely if Manchester United were interested in getting rid of this type of item they would target these guys on their doorstep. I am just left wondering how enforceable all this is and do these brands actually care.
