Title: Found my image on Zazzle
Post by: Allsa on June 12, 2009, 17:47
I found one of my images on Zazzle. It can be printed on a coffee mug, chef's apron and tote bag . Is this sort of thing allowed under most extended license agreements? I would think this is only allowed if the person owned the image outright, but I'm not sure. Thoughts, anyone?

I don't know if it applied to ALL extended licenses terms, but it sure does apply to many, although I think this should be "print on demand" case, which is not allowed at least in IS (I didn't find a reference in DT and FT, so it looks like this is allowed).

from IS: "Items for resale — limited run license required."
"Prohibited uses for both Standard and Extended license: Online "print-on-demand" products"

from DT: "Print Usage (P-EL): Physical Items for Resale: includes the right to use the photos for t-shirts, postcards, greeting cards, mugs, mousepads, posters, calendars, framed artwork that is to be sold to other customers for a maximum amount of 10,000 copies (applies as a total of each type of usage)."

from FT: "Extended license
Use: illustration of derivative products intended for resale (postcards, posters, t-shirts, templates...) "

Oh boy,

my stuff is allover that web site - again.

I highly doubt that it's worth those idiots while to sell stuff with our images on them - IF THEY DID PURCHASE A VALID LICENSE...

I assume the content has been stolen. I contacted them - see what happens.
