    Default First Poster

    I am creating a poster for a show coming up in August... I am doing it all on my own, design and printing.

    What are the legalities of creating a poster for sale in the lot before the show? Do I need to contact the band and venue to get approval to make the poster?

    I am unsure if what I am doing is legal or not... all of the profits will go into my pocket.

    Hopefully someone will be able to help...

    Thanks,

    Phil

    I think a pretty quick search of the forum will get you your answer. But basically you need to get the OK from the band and or the venue. Lots of info already posted on this though.

    yeah, definitely do a search to get the full info, but my quick answer is don't do it without the band's approval. if you just do it for the hell of it with no one's approval, it's just a bootleg that's ripping off the band. depending on the band, at best they'll ask you to stop (or give them a cut of the profits), at worst, they'll hand your ass to you in the parking lot.

    oh, i figured this was some no name touring band that you happen to like. totally different scenario: radiohead would crush you with their lawyers.
