About a year and a half ago the singer of a band, whose a good friend of mine, told me they'd licensed out the rights to a merchandising company to sell t-shirts at their gigs. He sent the company an image - one of mine - he'd quite like to see on the t-shirt and sent them my details. He told me exactly what was happening and told me the company would be in contact soon.
I heard nothing and thought nothing had come of it. I went to a few gigs and none of the merchandise had my image on, so fair enough. The last night, I saw... yup - you've guessed from the title of this thread - there it was. A black t-shirt with my image on it selling for £20. My singer friend was suprised I hadn't been contacted but will fetch my the company's details so I can contact them to ask them a few questions.
Yes I've desplays elements of naivity in this story. But not much I can do to change that now. I wonder if anyone has any advice on how to approach this merchandising company... A friendly phone call first, or a stern solicitor's letter? Or perhaps something in between?
