merchandise problem

[big_dawg]

Hi All,
Just tried to order an e-goat t-shirt for a forthcoming OOA and i have just had the following email from spreadshirt:

"Thank you for ordering at Spreadshirt.

Unfortunately, we have to inform you that the design you selected (see below) is almost certainly protected by copyright. This portion of your order therefore cannot be processed. "


Any thoughts of what has gone wrong?

Cheers

BD, I've looked into this and can't find any problems. Can you tell me what T-Shirt it was?

It was the "RAF Not feckin army" one. If it helps my order number was: Order: 2905688-3011111.

Thanks

Strange that. How can text be copyrighted?

Ill try re-ordering today and let you know what happens. Silly question but is the term "RAF" perhaps trademarked?

Surely the RAF PLC wouldn't be that petty......or would they? Hmm, probably !

There was something in our SRO's about use of images/copyrighted names (not sure that RAF would fall under this). So the latest gen is that it is now illegal to use any of the "RAF Branding, corporate material (which might be the RAF part) without expressed writen permission".

Go figure, maybe thats how we are planning to get abit more funds towards the JSF by copyrighting everything.DT_Xtremez_34:
