Copyright Infringement?!
ARGH!
I'm sitting here innocently uploading the photos Darryn provided me, now cropped, resized and with graphics added by moi, to the main merchandise site for use on his promotional products, much to the delight of the sandy haired heart-throb.
"You Rock!", he applaudes. "I love it!" and "Great job!" and "Wow!"
"It's what I do", I shrug, a big pile of pink goo.
"Well, you're very talented." But while I'm thinking I'm doing well, winning brownie points with this sweet and talented man, I am accused by the merchandise site of copyright infringement, for using a celebrities name and facial image without consent! I wrote them back that I know Darryn and that he is well aware of my pr efforts. They responded that they need 'an agreement in writing from Darryn Yates stating that he authorizes me to use his image on the store products'. I realize it is for his and the protection of all personalities that they do these things but crap, we're on a time crunch. I need to finish this in time for his ep release and before the tour begins. I want to offer him my support but how much can I do if I can't get the store up and running with confidence? He says he will take care of it, and without a complaint but I know it's time he doesn't have.
