Am I allowed

My grandson wants a superman t.shirt for Xmas, he asked me to print him one. I said no as I know its copyrighted, but I just thought I check, as I know you can't use it for public use, wondering any when I can use it within the law, his face dropped when I said no, as it would be seen by the public and I don't want to get into trouble.

Two choices, buy him one (will probably be knock off anyway!) or print it and tell him not to tell anyone else.....yeah, he'll tell everyone!

[jennywren]

He'll tell everyone, he brings his friends in the shop and shows me off, like I'm his prize pet. He thinks I'm the bee's knees. pity, not the same buying him one. he likes all the japanese comics. I would to like have incorporate that style in superman logo. Spiced it up a little

We wont tell if you don't so just say father Christmas made it or he got it off ebay

[Earl Smith]

Why not just print it and tell him you bought it. He will be non the wiser.

Isn't there something about copyright that it only applies if money changes hands and nothing applies if it's for personal use...... the bit that applies to the brother disney embroidery machine for example.

I've heard that but I've searched but not found it, some of the things I've read on copyright are sooooooooo complicated that I feel I'm reading Klingon and come away no wiser

A little bit off the subject but I made some ridge magnets of a BILLION £ note and used some celebrity photo's on them-they were postcard size and laminated,I gotsuspended from eBay as the Bank of England says it could have been mistaken as 'legal tender' as a real billion £ note does exist!-I hadn't stamped 'specimen' over it.I am bewildered!!!

Billion Pound note. Yep, I always keep a couple around for a rainy day.

He's your grandson so print him anything he wants. When I get to that stage of having grandkids I will print them all sorts for a bit of fun. I am sure others will be strict on these things but very close family and copyright would be slackened.
