Hi Ami

Sorry about the multiple submissions, but Im on a mac with safari and Im not always seeing the "awaiting moderation box".

Its not to sound overly angry - You guys are doing a great job on so many levels. I dont have any personal experience with designs being rejected due to legal issues, but I do find the overall theme of this topic very cool and was hoping that some of our other spreadshirt'ers would join in on the debate ;)

Im generally concerned about what I see as a paradigm shift in user rights on the internet. Its nothing new making a profit on personal opinions - its done daily in books, theater, tv, movies, interviews and so on. A guy can go on Oprah and express criticism towards Coca Cola, but if you make a white-on-red t-shirt with the same criticism your company would receive a Cease and Desist order within the week. Oprah makes millions on a 1 hour platform of opinions, its unlikely the Coca Cola t-shirt would make us more money than that. So there is a - from my perspective - unfair difference in what you can print on clothing and what you can do elsewhere. From my point of view that freedom of speech should be divided much more equally.

Of course everyone needs to follow the law, but in a time and age where trademark and ip-lawyers are booming big time I think its also our responsibility to criticize and try to alter legislation where we have an opportunity. You at Spreadshirt have become such a big player - Im not gonna go all Spiderman on you, but with great power comes great responsibility :) So if you could strike a blow for less lawyering-up I'm sure most users would enjoy it.

Thanks,
Chris
