Yeah . . . like warhol doing the campbell soup label thing. if he was trying to sell soup there'd be a law suit. It matters a lot what your intentions are.
Should probably be more up-to-speed on these laws, but I've never heard of anybody getting pummeled by the law unless they were really out to steal somebody's work intentionally. And for the simple little projects that I work on, there's no justification in retaining a law firm.
