Where are the anti-globos when you need them?
I've just been crushed by the powerful-big-banks-investment-funds-transnational-groups-and-other-owners-of-big-capital complex, so I guess I should give up with this so called hellish "neoliberalism" thingy and join ATTAC at once, since I'm being a much oppressed, repressed and alienated proletariat here.
Dear CafePress Storeowner,

(...)
The use of a copyrighted name, image, logo such as that of Che G &ickey Mouse can constitute both copyright and trademark infringement.
Dang! I didn't know that Che G was copyrighted. I swear.

Darn vicious avaricious powerful big banks, investment funds, transnational groups and other owners of big capital. They have no respect.

Anyway, I made this one by myself and consequently, the DVGPBBIFTGAOOBC can go F themselves and secondarily get a shorter acronym because neoliberalism kills and eats the little children, because ATTAC says so and therefore I don't see why I should pay the piper and stop selling my tees.

As for Mickey Mouse, I told my contact at Cafe Press, one cordial Abdul Popal who sounds genuinely willing to treat that issue with fairness on both side, that I don't see where and when exactly Disney's sympathetic anthropomorphous character was involved.

I swear.

My advocacy point is that, beside the catch line "El Che Gets the mickey (taken)"...
Merriam-Webster's Unabridged Dictionary:

" ♠ Main Entry: take*
Function: verb

(...)
take the mickey chiefly Britain : JOKE, KID
֖take the mickey out of chiefly Britain : to make fun of : TEASE

♠ Main Entry: mickey mouse

Function: adjective
Usage: usually capitalized both Ms

1 : lacking importance : INSIGNIFICANT (switch to Mickey Mouse courses, where you don't work too hard Willie Cager)
2 : annoyingly petty (Mickey Mouse regulations)
3 : being or performing insipid or corny popular music

♠ Main Entry: mickey mouse
Function:noun
Usage:usually capitalized both Ms

: something that is Mickey Mouse (eliminating the Mickey Mouse from the soldier's routine L.J.Binder) »
... There's nothing else on my design but the mockery of a communist murderer irrelevant pop icon.

Wearing an inflated montera.

Où sont les anti-mondialisation quand on a besoin d'eux ?
Je viens juste d'être broyé par le complexe des puissants-gros-groupes-bancaires-fonds-d'investissements-multinationales-et-autres-possédants-du-gros-capital, et j'imagine que je ferai mieux de laisser tomber ce truc de l'infernal "neoliberalisme" et joindre ATTAC sans plus attendre car je suis un prolétariat vachement opprimé, réprimé et aliéné là.
Cher commerçant CafePress,

(...)
L'utilisation d'un nom, image, logo sous copyright tels ceux de Che G &ickey Mouse peut constituer un infraction à la fois au copyright et aux marques déposées.
Bigre! J'ignorais que Che G était sous copyright. Je le jure.

Damnés puissants gros groupes bancaires, fonds d'investissements, multinationales et autres possédants du gros capital vicieux et avaricieux. Ils ne respectent rien.

Quoi qu'il en soit, c'est moi même tout seul qui ai fait celui là. Conséquemment, les DPGGBFIMAPGCVA peuvent aller se FF et accessoirement se trouver un acronyme plus court car le néolibéralisme tue et mange les petits enfants ainsi qu'ATTAC l'a dit et donc je ne vois pas pourquoi je devrai payer les pots cassés et cesser de vendre mes t-shirts.

En ce qui concerne Mickey Mouse, j'ai signalé à mon contact chez Cafe Press, le cordial et apparemment sincèrement décidé à traiter équitablement cette question, Abdul Popal, que je ne voyais absolument pas quand et comment le sympathique personnage anthropomorphe de Disney était impliqué.

Je le jure.

Mon plaidoyer argument est que, au-delà de l'accroche "El Che Gets the mickey (taken)"...
Dictionnaire Complet Merriam-Webster:

" ♠ Entrée principale :take*
Fonction : verbe

(...)
take the mickey principalement Grande Bretagne : BLAGUER, PLAISANTER
֖take the mickey out of principalement Grande Bretagne : se moquer de : TAQUINER

♠ Entrée principale :mickey mouse

Fonction : adjectif
Usage : généralement deux M en majuscules

1 : qui manque d'importance : INSIGNIFIANT (bascule sur l'option Mickey Mouse, où on ne travaille pas trop dur Willie Cager)
2 : importunément mesquin (un règlement Mickey Mouse)
3 : être insipide ou jouer une sotte et insipide musiquette populaire

♠ Main Entry : mickey mouse
Fonction : nom
Usage : généralement deux M en majuscules

: quelque chose qui est Mickey Mouse (supprimer le Mickey Mouse de la routine du soldat L.J.Binder) »
... Il n'est rien d'autre dans cette création graphique que la moquerie d'un assassin communiste d'une icône pop surannée.

Qui porte une montera hypertrophiée.

Is there any way to get an even higher resolution JPG or GIF for printing to an iron-on transfer? OR to publish to image in PDF, PS, or AI formats? This is being perfectionistic, I realize, but if the image exists in some sort of vector format, it should be perfectly scalable or convertable. And Michey deserves it--in the name of all the is good and true or proletarian.

Disney is stuck by the law here. If they don't go after every user of one of their copyrighted images, that image can pass into the public domain because they obviously didn't consider it important enough to protect. Therefore, they absolutely have to go after every user of their images. The press knows this, but they still enjoy twitting Disney every time it happens. I have no great love for the Disney, but have to admit they are actually following the intent of the law. Heck, they would probably save money if the law allowed them to overlook really minor infringers without risk of losing their intellectual property rights. That army of lawyers they have to maintain couldn't be cheap.
