| Yeah, those shirts were being sold on the tour. Did they really not buy the rights for the photo? |

I got a message back in July asking for the permission to use the picture as a "pack shot" on iTunes. They never said anything about T-shirts!
Awesome! I fuckin' shot this!

hey, I'm in my last year of law school! I'm in. Let's force a settlement where frank has to release a mega catholics boxset and record personalized songs for us.

I'm seriousness, I think that's amazingly cool, jediroller. Congratulations on taking such an iconic shot.

Hey. It's only for U.S. customers.
It would have been fun to wear a FB tee with US tour dates.

Why is it U.S. only?
I was really liking the look of that Harmonica T-shirt too. :(

heh, that's funny, it gives the option to change currency, but doesn't allow overseas shipping.
Have to say, that's a bit low not asking for permission on the photo jedi. YOu could ask that proceeds go to fb.net though ;)

FB's a classy guy. It doesn't seem like him to misappropriate somebody else's intellectual property like that. Must be the new manager.

very cool designs, indeed :) it was a tough choice but I went with the harmonica design.
At $15, it's a good deal.

AH-HA! great minds think alike. But why buy a tee shirt when you can DIY?

well i just bought a t-shirt for myself in New Zealand.
they don't show up on the Rest Of World section, but i ordered mine thru the US section no problems.
will see whether it works or not, but i'm pretty sure i've paid for it.
got the emails and everything.
US$18 all up...so under NZ$25 not bad.....
all i can say, thank god for polio! brian |

It was a tough choice, but I had to go with the harmonica shirt.
Was anybody else not able to find a little box in which to check the size you want? I just wrote the size I wanted in the 'special comments' box--hope that works.

That's true, Jop. Frank's manager asked me for permission to use the picture on an iTunes release, I can't imagine he would deliberately go and print T-shirts without letting me know first. There's bound to have been some kind of misunderstanding along the way. I'm sure this will be settled quickly and among gentlemen.
Awesome! I fuckin' shot this!

A little question Jedi: were you fully allowed to take pictures of the show? ;)
You can't let people take pictures, tape your shows without bothering them and in the end ask for permission to use this material. I think it was nice already that they asked you first for the Itunes release.
This could end up as no more pictures and taping at FB shows...

I had a photo pass. Which has nothing to do with copyright anyway. I don't understand your point.

I don't know what you can legally do and not, but I suspect that jedi would be fine if they had just asked him?

It's all a bit ironic -- in this case, the artist is the bootlegger and the fan is the jilted party.

Well, it's one thing to put the pic in a disc. The picture itself isn't being sold. But to create a product based on that pic, I definitely think that's a separate thing and they should've contacted jedi on it at the very least. I imagine it will be solved amicably and was an oversight, though. Jedi have you contacted them? Did you want me to?

Thanks for your input everybody. Don't worry, this is being taken care of as we speak.

| I used to have a website with a bunch of my photos until I started seeing them appear for sale in various places. Someone was selling "autographed" photos of Frank on ebay using my photo (until floop alerted me). Then I saw one on a band's DVD cover. I emailed the singer and he was supposed to give me a copy but never did. It's nice to see your handiwork in a visible place but it only feels good until you realize someone's taking advantage of you. |
