Can I sell t-shirts with copyrighted images or quotes?

No. Using copyrighted logos, characters, song lyrics, or trademarked phrases without permission is illegal. At best your listings get pulled. At worst you face a lawsuit.

• Stick to original designs you create or properly license.
• If something inspires you, transform it into your own distinct work rather than copying it.
• Parody has some legal protection, but it is a gray area that is not worth the risk for a new seller.

This is general information, not legal advice. When in doubt about a specific design, check with an attorney before you list it.
