Copyrights Issues on a Body I wish to have?

Benn · 07-03-2016

I wish to have a Black Hoodie with a Grumpy Cat Backpck. Would it get a copyright problem?

Thallen · 07-03-2016

highly doubt a black hoody with a cat on the backpack is going to give you issues

Skyzer · 07-03-2016

It's a type of cat, nothing wrong with that.

Grumpy Cat is just a Siamese with some genetic defects due to inbreeding

There's no reason a breed of cat would be copyright

Edit: So I did some research and I think as long as you're not selling anything with Grumpy Cat on it then it should be fine but idk, I couldn't really find any solid info

Errr, no. You can also copyright the likeness of a character I believe.

If it's copyrighted then it will just get removed so who cares.

I don't think the ******ed grumpy cat meme is owned by anybody so no you probably won't get sued for using it.

Be warned though, the use of dead memes makes you look like a total fool.

I'm assuming he doesn't want to go through the time to make it if it's going to get denied.

Ark · 07-04-2016

And maybe he doesn't want it to get stolen

So then why don't you actually answer his question? Aren't you GFX staff?

I recommend you to read about it, I know what I am saying

You can't just create the graphics of Sonic the Hedgehog for example from scratch and evade trademark laws with it.
