I expect they're just being absurdly over-careful about copyright. I
sent a picture ro a high street photo shop to make a single print for

TV series (and film) "Fame", and they refused on copyright grounds,
which is clearly nonsense.
Profit on single print: A few pounds.
Cost of losing a copyright infringement case: Thousands of pounds (tens
or even hundreds of thousands if you have to pay costs and your opponent
has hired lawyers at £640/hour).
It's not worth the risk.
