Tbf the image is playing to the crowd but trying to look edgy.
But then it's just a joke, after all.
Like my
"unknown tourers"
shop tshirt

You guys are both right.

Ok @bikeworkshop ftw as peacekeeper

We'll have to agree to disagree on the level of creativity here.

@Woz .. next time we have this discussion, use the 'Blek le Rat' defence, he's a French artist, considered the father of stencil graffiti, you could identify his work by a small stencilled rat.. the same rat which Banksy used in his early work.. so even Banksy isn't adverse to plagerising art

Pfft! i would have had no response.. keep it in your back pocket for next time old friend

And every bike will have a Chris King headset, or if that's internal, xtr or Dura-ace chainset

In a similar vein, there are plenty of photos that were taken by my dad or Bernard Thompson (and others no longer with us) that people have put on the web or Facebook. Strictly speaking, those pictures are still in copyright until 70 years after death but it would be almost impossible to enforce.

As previously mentioned, I’m less concerned with the legalities and more concerned with the ethics.. if someone reposts one of your dads photo on fb, they’re not profiting from that photo if they were to take that photo and slap it on a t-shirt, a mug, a badge ..ect and charge people £20 for it.. like this dude is doing, that’s is what I think is unethical.

You can use copyright material in a joke iirc

But if you don't find it funny, that's different.

I don’t think you can, Nike could issue a cease and desist order here, if they refused, they would be taken to court and bankrupted, Nike have very deep pockets! .. they just don’t give a shit because a couple of 100 t-shirts has no impact on their profits and the ‘design’ in question isn’t damaging to their brand… I appreciate international copyright isn’t as easy to enforce but Nike do tend to hold copyright across the board.
