Glad you like it. I hope it's good enough The picture was take by me and the Moria-entrance was drawn by JRR Tolkien himself (from Fellowship of the Ring book I guess?). There shouldn't be any copyright infringements I hope... Eventhough it's his drawing. Oh well. It looks like the design is set then

I have no idea if it is legit or not. I suppose it comes down to whether the family extended the copyright on just his written works or on his published sketches too.

I think the Tolkien Police were mainly going after the use of the maps. Since Christopher Tolkien made quite a few of them. Tolkien sold the rights of the books many years ago. But Christopher was actually policing the web for the use of his maps. Many had to get rid of them or pay loyalities. Anyway, as far as Tolkien's sketches, I do not think it was an issue. Quotes and such are even on jewlery.

Okay, I sat a few hours last night modelling a less copyright-problem-T-shirt design. Personally I like this one myself better What do you think? http://www.radiorivendell.com/images/merchandise/5_year_anniversary_tshirt_mk2.jpg It features a wide horisontal design. The text below the picture says: "One Radio to rule them all, One Radio to find them. One Radio to bring them all and with music bind them" Across the image the text "five year anniversary" is printed in a semitransparent way. That should probably fall under "parody" in the copyright law so we can probably use it. Unless you have anything else cool we could write there? Suggestions?

Looks great. Black tees always look great! Could you widen the forest scene more, love to see the forest. Love the: "One Radio to rule them all, One Radio to find them. One Radio to bring them all and with music bind them" All righty then, when can we buy them? I know many folks want one to wear and show off their favorite web site and get away from it all place. Will be waiting for your announcement.

I really like it, Elrond! It looks great! Sometimes what we create can be even better than the original! I think you've done that here!

Yes, we wouldn't want to be sued. We cannot afford that It would probably wouldn't have been noticed, though better safe than sorry
