|
|
Hi All,
I bought a badge from a seller with a view to sell it on ebay, now the person who had the badge made (not the bloke I bought the badge from) wants me to pull the auction, because he is worried he will get done re copyright?
Surely it's me who would take the sh*t re copyright?
Am I morally wrong to carry on with the auction? Don't want p*ss anyone off in the Football collecting community |

Hi Mate, to be fair, I don't want the person who sold it to me, or the person who produced it being identified in fairness to them? |

Hi
Don't quite see how we can help without a better understanding regarding the badge and what it is relating too.
Don't want to sound negative but you are being rather vague. |

I dont know much about copyright law or the infringement of copyright but club crests (assuming thats what it is) are usually the intellectual property of the owners so to reproduce the crest could be an infringement of copyright law.
Best to check I reckon
By the way did you know that Uncopyrightable is the longest word in the English Language that does not have any repeated letters?... Well they actually share this record with Hydropneumatics and Dermatoglyphics. |

If you can find the umbro thread, there are a couple of collectors on the 90 mins forum who might be able to help or at least can share their experienes of copyright problems |

Surely, uncopyrightable would be hyphenated? and, surely anything that is uncopyrightable has already been copyrighted. Don't want to appear pedantic...... |

Good points, well made. I love pedantry |

I have to disagree with you on these points my friend. I dont believe that uncopyrightable would be hyphenated at all. In my opinion it is a complete and proper word.
Also if something has already been copyrighted it cannot be uncopyrightable as it has been copyrighted. Somthing like a real persons or places name for example John Terry or London would be uncopyrightable as it has an inability to be copyrighted. If these could be copyrighted, someone could become very very rich from registering a copyright on them, and hence they are unable to be copyrighted and as such are uncopyrightable. Or is that just me being pedantic?

I think you are being pedantic. Anything organic should not be copyrighted, but then again you get cloned sheep. Names can be copyrighted, that's why during the original internet boom people made small fortunes out of copyrighting www. names. Remember Beckham's missus trying to copyright the name Posh, and citing Peterborough United as having no right to that name despite them being around since she was an amoeba (like yesterday) |
