Disc Dyes and Copyright Infringement

[jupiterboy]

You can drill down into the mud with this, but I deal with permissions a bit, and I'll tell you that you can rip off or copy artwork for decorating something personal, but when you start selling it for profit you have an issue.

The laws are get kinda vague, and you will probably never be in court to test them. If you are hand cutting masks, you are probably OK. If you are doing commercial foil stamping, you need to be legally good on everything including the type you license.

Same for things like Huk designs, or non-manufacturer designs that have some kind of protection...folks who have the protection and actively use it for disc golf are going to have a much harder line on it than someone not in the space.

You're 100% correct - I don't think Disney could care less if people put Mario on a disc.

This isnt going to be funny in 10 years probably.

The personal use vs profit was pretty much what I would expect.

If I stamp 1000 discs with MCU characters and sell them on eBay I’m a lot more exposed than a one or two off for personal use or even trade.

But it’s still technically copyright infringement

Maybe it’s infringement if some kid traces something on their notebook during history class. The legal threshold gets down to percent changes, which is vague AF. But then you have other layers for recognizable characters, brands, whatever.

Even really old stuff is hard to run down and know, but for personal? Life is short…

I found information about copyright detector, used https://phdessay.com/copyright-detector/ for this. There you can find detailed information so that you do not encounter this. By the way, in this way I received information that will be useful to me and will be useful.

Are you seriously?
