Ya know I was thinking. Its cool and all, but how does this guy get paid to do this. I mean its one thing if its a hobby for fun that could lead to a graphic design career, but eventually he's going to have enough followers that he's gonna want to monetize this venue for some side money (and if he's big enough maybe even his primary income).
So that got me thinking..... how does he not get sued. I mean he is infringing on both music artist names and sports club logos. I understand he is adding his own creativity by blending the two, and he is talented no doubt, but really the crux of what makes this interesting is that he is taking two independent intellectual properties and merging them. No one would care if he took a made up team and a made up band and created a logo, it would mean nothing. But he is essentially making collaborations where people did not consent to use their IP in this way. Its all cute and fun, but when there is money to be made don't you think some executives would be upset they they've been cut out?
I'm not vouching for him to get shut down, I am just curious how he doesn't get in trouble. It's one thing to just make some indirect ad dollars, but hes actually selling merchandise that uses other peoples IP. How does he not get stripped of the profits? is he protected, or is he just too small to be a worry, or has he just gone unnoticed so far?
