T-Shirt and Sweat-Shirt printing without copyright ?

[Lelah Cassin]

Hello MMO,

I'm trying to print some cartoon parody on a sweat-shirt but Printful and Spreadshirt don't allow copyrighted content. Do you know any solution ?

Throw them in mid-journey to spin out parody versions of the designs.

Exactly. There is a landrush for Print On Demand with the recent influx of AI image-generation tools.

if you are thinking long term, I'd say create your own design or as someone mentioned, use midjourney. You really dont want to attract the attention of these corporations. it is just a headache and you would constantly keep looking over your shoulder.

I have actually seen people use copyrighted images for tshirts and stuff and they advertise them on tiktok. Parody designs of Nike especially.
One thing they do different is that they print in house (screen printed transfers + heatpress or embroidered) and when they list it on their websites, they dont use words like "Nike", they describe it differently which I think works for them.
