Can I sell a product which includes social media icons? Facebook? Twitter?
Ok... hang with me.
I've got an idea for a product (t-shirt) and the design for said t-shirt incorporates social media icons into the design. The icons were not taken from the social media sites but from Elegant themes (http://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/resour...icon-set). Now, can I manufacture and distribute this design without getting the pants sued off me by any of the social sites in the icon set? Thanks for the responses so far. 1. I'm not sure either 2. FB doesn't respond to anything 3. I've read that disclaimer too... so how does this work? http://www.bitrebels.com/lifestyle/36-fa...us-update/ Ads |

The makers of those shirts either have rights to use the terms/images or they're simply breaking copyright laws. Just because it's in the terms doesn't mean people are going to abide by it. Maybe they didn't bother to ask Yahoo Answers before making up their shirts?
