I think this question is probably one for the lawyers on the forum...
Does anyone know what the actual copyright issues are with LV? I'll try to explain what I mean. Of the situations occuring below, I don't know what are copyright infringements and what are not. Also if the copyright infringement only occurs if the situations listed below are used to make moeny.
1. If someone uses LV material to make an object that is not manufactured by LV..like the sudden weird items such as mono covered chairs that appear on ebay, made out of old LV bags.
2. If someone uses a LV pattern like mono or damier as a background for a myspace page.
3. If someone uses any sort of mono/damier/MC print as a personal signature or avatar...not a bag, just the print.
4. Clothes/bags in designs that are never manufactured by LV, with the mono/damier/mc etc print.
