I got hit by copyright when we were printing our hockey jerseys for
DefCon last summer. I blogged about it here:
http://grover.open2space.com/node/237.
The short story is that a vendor refused to work with our artwork unless
we could produce licenses. The artwork was clearly satirical, or
original. But they still used the copyright argument. Another vendor
had no issues with the artwork.

Hey all,
I'm working on a story about copyright law as part of my thesis and I'm
currently looking for people who have been impacted by the law or people
who may have unique opinions or insights about the future of copyright
law. I know that, in terms of the IT industry, patents are probably a
bigger issue, but open source software does rely on copyright laws and
there are issues with anti-circumvention laws in terms of accessing
encrypted DVDs and other types of files with DRM on an open source
operating system, such as Linux.
If anyone in the group is aware of someone who I should talk to, or is
willing to be interviewed on the subject, I'd very much appreciate it if
you could contact me off-list.
Thanks for your help,
Jesse
