    DLR and VH art on Etsy

    My friend told me about Etsy where artists sell direct. Naturally, I searched DLR and VH and was surprised to find a few really good artwork. Most are the predictable t-shirts and clocks made from vinyls. Some of the artwork I saw on this site are really good. Thought about selling on Etsy?

    This one is odd:

      The top 2 appear to be in violation of registered trademarks and patented intellectual property protection.

      Doesn't mean someone can't create the art... it's the selling of it that draws Ed's attorneys like flies on dog shit...

                  Nah... big IP law firm pays some young clerk $12 an hour to go Google and surf E-Bay. They then bill Ed $400 an hour, plus expense charges for paper, envelopes, stamps, ink, toilet paper and the oxygen consumed by the clerk for any cease & desist orders sent out...

                      Funny you mentioned people being paid to Google. My friend purchased United miles from someone advertised on Craigslist. She used those miles plus some from her own account to buy the tix. When she checked in at the UA counter, she was told to step aside. They flagged her tix because they knew she bought the miles from this guy they have been monitoring. Her tix was confiscated, and she ended up paying full price.

                          As a professional fine arts person, I can say that the second painting of Edward is by no means a breach of any copyright, the main thing being if it is a one of kind and not a mass produced poster. It is in all sense a portrait painting. Even if it is derived from a photo, that photo was altered by the painter from use of a different medium alone and it is the photographer and not Edward any legal battle would generate from...as a sole painting for sale, it is legal. The first one with the use of the logo might fall into some dangerous grounds, and it is probably in violation because it has more of commercial craft feel to it and not along the lines of Fine Art...but then again, what the hell is even considered the state of Fine Art anymore, but I would not sleep easy if I was the guy who did it.
