He's just informed me he wants to put it on a T-shirt. Could we get sued? My parents are currently fighting to stop a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lng">Liquified Natural Gas</a> facility from being built off the coast of their city. My dad wants me to photoshop "We Can Stop LNG" all snazzy-like onto the Tank Man photo and then make signs and t-shirts from it. His motive is definitely promoting awareness, not profit, but my internal caution alarm is going DING DING DING. Would this be Very Illegal, Sort-Of Illegal But With No Likely Repercussions, or Totally Okay? If it's one of the first two, is there any way I could go about it legally (trying to contact the photographer, Jeff Widener), or should I just tell my dad's it's a no-go? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.44138 Thu, 10 Aug 2006 15:25:43 -0800 copyright lng photograph photography tankman tiananmensquare granted
