Since the MTA has a copyright on the name, it probably has a legal entitlement to basically any commercial/for-profit use of the name. So long as she removed any "before" images of the cards from her etsy account and continues to make no mention of the cards by name, I think the MTA's infringement suit is largely weakened. Although I am never convinced any case is as weak as a lawyer specializing in defending such cases assures me while speaking in hypotheticals.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05780102435236829099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-89888756928442339932011-04-09T21:37:10.098-04:002011-04-09T21:37:10.098-04:00And FYI MTA - heh - I had not sold one damn painti...And FYI MTA - heh - I had not sold one damn painting until you told me to stop.
