Peel offs

[Seahorse]

Are peel off usable for commercial gain.

ie if i used a peel off to create a part of a project then sold the work, would it be legal?

Im confused about this as some things Id ask about like peel offs but wouldnt ask about charms ive bought.Id just use/sell them in my work.

I do and have seen several other companies doing so but whether we are supposed too is a different matter.......

I fear it will remain a mystery.

There are copyrights and if you use the peel offs on something to resell, you are obliged to ask permission first. However I've seen this topic debated many times on craft forums - how the heck the companies are going to find you out, and is it worth it for them to track down small fish!!

Anyway, a lot of people do it in crafts....

I would have thought that their sales would be down by 75 -80% if you couldn't sell on your cards that had peel offs on. It wouldn't make good business sense at all.
Can you imagine if they satrted to prosecute people. The courts would be so booked up there would be no room for the real criminals!!

See what you mean but I get the impression companies like to pick on one or two people and make big examples of them.I think the music people did that with people that illegally downloaded in the past.
I dont want to be one of those people.

I may contact the company.

Let us know what they say - I for one would be very interested!
