Check out the new Free Culture T-Shirts designed by Kirby Bukowski: ![FC T White][1]
[CC-BY-SA 3.0][2] ![FC T Magenta][3] [CC-BY-SA 3.0][2] We're ordering a small batch of t-shirts for the [Free Culture X 2013 conference][4] at New York Law School on April 20th! We'll be selling them for $20 a pop, and all volunteers get one for free. ![FC T example][5] [CC-BY-SA 3.0][2] The design is an adaptation of the album cover of Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures. The image was adapted by Disney when they [released a T-shirt in 2012][6]. Disney pulled the T-shirt from the market for fear of copyright infringement. Kirby did a bit of research into the Unknown Pleasures album art, and decided that it image of pulsars is likely to be in the public domain. Adam Capriola of SixPrizes did a [pretty great job tracking the history of the pulsar art work][7]. We received some legitimate criticism about the company our previous round of t-shirts came from (American Apparel) being guilty of bad labor practices including union-busting, repeated sexual offenses on behalf of the CEO, and exploitative hiring/firing practices. For this reason, we made sure these are [union made, fair trade, etc.] and all future clothing will be sourced exclusively from worker-owned cooperatives!
