Performance Trilogy on CD. I have to remove the video from the club's site, so I'm offering it on CD. Would you rather have it sent in a paper sleeve or pay $5 more to have it sent in a jewel case? What do you think is a fair price for the CD?

 

If the paper sleeve is cardboard, the sleeve will be fine. As far as price . . . . are you going to include shipping in the price?

How does 5-6 dollars sound? Am I low or high?

 

The price won't include shipping. I have to charge $5 or I lose money. I was thinking $8-10.

 

Sounds about right.

Yeah, the 5-6 range would be a little low to include shipping!

Keep us informed on when to buy . Maybe I'll purchase the T-shirt, and CD at the same time!

 

There will be a mouse pad too. There are lots of items to choose from.

 

Make it a compilation cd with the video and stills (highrez) of the car
I'd pay 15 for that.

 

If you really want something special . . how about a mustangsource.com bobble head??!! Kidding. But, imagine the ebay.com markup! :shock:

 

 

heck put the 2 screen savers from fords site on it too

 

I'm just wondering if I can distribute this stuff legally...

 

Brad, if you are going to use Cafepress to make this, they have some strict "rules" involving copyright/trademark issues--if you use a vehicle photo or photo-realistic art work, they may require you to submit a release letter from the vehicle manufacturer.

Check out their copyright/trademark section. Here's something from it:

NO pictures or photographs of products (such as automobiles or toys). Even if you own a product, trademark laws still prohibit you from selling merchandise featuring pictures of it. For example, you cannot take a picture of your car and then sell t-shirts or mugs with that picture.

 

I wont tell if you wont

but yeah I hadn't thought of that..blip is right..they would freak on you in a minute...even if the price was just to cover your cost in making the disc.

darn you blip and your morals! heheh j/k bro

Ahh heck there goes my T-SHirt design to!
well I guess I'm outta this one. Hey blip draw up a great tune and I'll photoshop it a bit with some color and such

 

So drawings are OK?

Does stangnet.com have to pay a license fee for their renderings on their T-shirts?

 

StangNet does not. I think the unspoken rule is that Ford doesn't really care if you're promoting their product.

 

I think this is more of a Cafepress "rule," other printers may not be so limiting. You can get a release for the OEM to use your own pictures of cars and cafepress will accept that. To use trademarked names and logos, I think, requires a licensing agreement -- don't know how hard that would be to get from Ford. (I just started checking into that to see how it could effect my artwork.)

I have a little leeway in that I'm doing "original" artwork, I just have to walk a fine line with trademarked logos and names. Wicked Art does designs like mine, but has stopped selling them to U.S. customers because of legal troubles. As long as I just do commissioned work, not mass market, my stuff seems to be okay.
