What do other contributors think about this. Other sites don't allow selling stuff on print on demand sites even with an extended license, costing 2x plus the merchandise license price here, right? or have I misread the license terms on the bigger sites?!

Yes this is a bit confusing legally. Practically if you sell a t-shirt of whatever on zazzle you receive royalties. By definition royalty is: payment to the holder of a patent or copyright or resource for the right to use their property ( defnition from princeton.edu). It's clear that if you buy a merchandise license you don't own the copyright. Other stock agencies strictly prohibit print-on-demand usage. Also zazzle has a share of the sell price so thus this can be interpreted as reselling the image.


I think GLO should seriously look into this.

Hi,

We amended our legal agreements so they are in line with the other stock sites that sell merchandise licenses. We've added the following line to our merchandise license legal agreement to make it more clear to our buyers:

You may not resell the Image on Print on Demand sites such as Zazzle or Cafe Press.

I hope that clears up the problem.

Oops, missed that. We removed the line from the blog article.
