££££ won't even pay the owners of the rights to Oscar the Grouch for infringement of copyright!

I doubt they'll be bothered about a design being used on some badges sold for a solidarity fund.

It's all good, man
I take it you've never been at the receiving end of solicitors' letters from copyright wankers who think they can intimidate you into paying them royalties?
Did you know that you're member 66666?
Maybe they'll turn up to the picket line all brave to hand over the cease and desist letter?
How are they going to trace anyone?

I was informed of this shortly after signing upDid you know that you're member 66666?

Seriously though. Big copyright owners tend to have zero scruples.
I had ebay's lawyers on to me one time for some spurious shit. They obviously have lawyers crawling out of every alcove, searching the internet for anything they can use to justify their pitiful existence.

My mate did. He did T-shirts with famous faces on (drawn by himself) and had some American Lawyers on him. The thing is, the law is different in the UK than the US in that nobody has the copyright to their own image. It's the artist / photographer that does. But that isn't the case in the US.
Anyway he couldn't be arsed with it, pulled it, and just replied that the guy shouldn't really have been illustrated as he didn't have the talent to match the others he'd done (or something similarly cutting).
Not that that helps here. As Oscar will be subject to copyright. But bring it on. Maybe we can dump the trash at their offices?

That's the answer... but the council's offices.

I remember reading about Sesame Street suing the shit of some woman who was making Elmo cookies without a license. They guard their image rights jealously and will lawyer up if they find out about it.

is it ok to put this email address out on twitter/facebook, I assume so, considering Urban appears in google search results, but just want to check.

Henson Productions even sued Disney Corporation so they aren't scared who they take on!

Knocking out "Beaker supports the strike AGAINST cuts to science research" car stickers?

Got to call Vegans out for a bit of a false dichotomy there.

why's that? it just means money should be spent on feeding people rather than bombs, quite simple

Nice to see Food Not Bombs still going on, remember them from 10 years ago, nice bit of community action, more important now than ever with the increased levels of homelessness and food bank dependency since then.
Also, solidarity for the striking binmen, my union branch had already sent its message of solidarity and £100 to the strike fund.

Mods/OP - Could we possibly change the thread title to just Brum Bin Strike. This has the potential to really be a big 'un.
