I like this blatant ripoff - like someone cloned Brian Bolland, but something went terribly wrong...

I really like his rather fruity looking Terminator, made even funnier by the comment from Ruth who seems to think it's a Borg:

Dodgy, rip-off (I presume) Dredd t shirts on Amazon by Black Sheep Clothing -

http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dclothing&field-keywords=Black+Sheep+Dredd&rh=n%3A83450031%2Ck%3ABlack+Sheep+Dredd&ajr=0

If it is being sold on Amazon then they must have permission to sell them by Rebellion. If not then Tut Tut Tut. Maybe a little nudge to Amazon is needed for confirmation.

well well well.... he removed the Greg Staples art. Now it looks less eyecatching and doesn't make any sense at all. Hurrah!

That's... kind of shit. It's not even accurate, and contains a typo.

If he doesn't have a licence, it still breaches copyright because it uses the image and name anyway.

Trademark infringement, not breach of copyright. (That law degree serves you well).

It's been a long time. Also, I don't care. 

Bloody lawyers.

It's like he ran out of room at the top of the page so had to flatten the helmet to fit it in.

Is this official stuff? It doesn't look like it.

I'd hope not. They are shit

[Third Estate Ned]

If they aren't offcial, anyone with a Blogger account care to add the above opinion in the blog's comments box?

[Dandontdare]

I was just about to, then remembered I'd deleted my google account in a fit of pique! I hope lots of us add comments!

[Glenn Broadway]

I left a comment but the admin removed it (surprise, surprise).

Just had a quick look at ebay and it is now full of illegal stuff, it's gone DREDD crazy!
