Still sounds extremely suspicious to me. I can't imagine it being
anything other than a non-official element, but boy if she is pulling a
fast one, she's going to a lot of effort. My bet is that it was created
with an ink jet printer.
I've got no problems when people sell customized figures and are very
open that they have painted them. I do see a problem with people
derriving proffit from violating copyrights and trademarks, which this
seems close to. I'm not sure how protected that Wolfpack emblem is, does
anyone know? As I have mentioned before, I'd love to get some Wolfpack
sails made but I am unwilling to violate TLC's interest in its property
to do so. I feel that if I made it myself for myself, that that could
fit under fair use, but I feel that selling such an item would not be
fair use.
