Re: James Mcqueen copyright

Thanks For the Advice Andy I have done plenty of reading on your points. I will update if I have anymore correspondence from dmh stallard - james mcqueens solicitors.

Got to say that while you can't give official legal advice the work you do on these forums is outstanding.

Thank you
Gaz

Re: James Mcqueen copyright

That's correct Andy I do also sell book covers that are based on the penguin and albatross book covers. Mine are all personalised though. Customers add their own text, book colour and motif it's not that I always sell the print with the banksy motif as many customers use their own motifs or photos ...

Re: James Mcqueen copyright

So do you think I'm safe to use the banksy monkey without getting sued by james mcqueen. I have said to his solicitors that I will remove the james mcqueen version. And will instead use the banksy version but they have said that I'm not allowed to use any monkey which seems like over use of ...

Re: James Mcqueen copyright

Thanks for the reply Andy so if i use james mcqueens version of the monkey? Although the only difference between his and banksys is a hat on one monkey and a paintbrush in the hand of another. I could get sued for copyright infringement by james mcqueen even though banksy actually has an active ...

Re: Penguin books copyright claim

Thanks for the reply I have replied to penguin a few times but not had much of a response. Is this normal procedure for a company to send a cease and desist email. But not willing to engage in any conversation regarding this. I have asked then directly what they would like removing from the print ...

Re: Penguin books copyright claim

I totally understand thanks for your reply. Do you think they would win a passing off claim against my print. Is there anything I can chnage on my print that would stop the claim?

Re: Penguin books copyright claim

That's the email from penguin. The thing is do people really think they are buying a penguin book cover from my site I doubt it. To be honest my customers are just buying a personalised book cover and most of the prints sold have nothing to do with books. They are usually quotes, family names etc ...
