Joe Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I was having a coffee in a bar here in the Canary Islands this morning and noticed that the cigarette vending machine was sporting a large image ( A3 size) of The Beatles. It had me thinking: illegal use, somebody licenced image for use in selling tobacco via Spanish vending machines ( unlikely), RF image...?

PatrioticAlien Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Well If they didn't license it, i wouldn't want to be them. Their was a case recently where Michael Jordan (NBA star) Image was used on a steak menu or something (Giving people the Impression he was endorsing it) http://www.nba.com/2015/news/08/22/michael-jordan-wins-lawsuit.ap/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the image is being used without permission, okay for me to upload an image of the vending machine to Alamy? Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
