Some of us texas folk have a design for using the bonnaroo logo inside the texas flag. we were thinking of having shirts made or something of the like, but aren't sure what the rules concerning copyright are, and if we'd be able to have it done without permission from bonnaroo/superfly/AC.

Basically, any use of the copyrighted symbol without permission is prohibited. However, using it for yourself and a few others is generally overlooked as long as things arent being distributed. Most places that make copies and other items have clauses in their agreements that the material you are using is not copyrighted and that you would be fiscally responsible if it is. So they normally dont worry about it too much at printers. Again this assumes you're printing a few items and not looking to do a large bulk printing; then you might have some questions.
I wasn't sure which bonnaroo logo you were planning on using, but you can get away with all the copyright issues by having your t shirt maker change up the logo just a little bit. I think the rule is that if the image is chaged by 15% it is no longer the origional image. So if you used the exact same lettering, same colors ect for the "bonnaroo" logo...but at the end put an OO isn't of the infinity looking symbol they have, you would be alright that would be enough of a change. And no one would notice really. We did this alot for the fraternity socials in school, and totally obvious changes were never noticed. We would do all the major trademarks, bass pro shops, Pabst Blue Ribbon, John Deere. And your t shirt maker should be familiar with the rules also. And by the way shop around, some would only put FSU on our shirts and then we found one that would put Florida State University, which is trademarked. Never got into a bit of trouble and we wore them on campus even. I think if you keep it under 100 shirts, which we always did, it's too small potatoes for anyone to ever worry about.
yea considering there are people who sell the obviously copyright infringed shirts in teh campgrounds for 5 bucks (on sunday that is - price falls about 5 per day) they are more worried aboot that i would think
