This is not really directly related to the message board, but I’m not sure who to ask about this. I was just discussing with my hubby plans for organizing a Dopefest, and the making of a sign to identify the group/table came up. I work at a copy place that rhymes with Pinko’s and so can have nice signs made up for cheap, which got me to thinking about what to put on said sign, and I thought putting one of Slug’s pictures on the sign would be really cool. Now, I don’t see any specific information regarding this on the SD web page, but I would imagine they’re copyrighted, and Pinko’s won’t duplicate copyrighted material, never mind it just not being nice to take stuff without permission. Permission is granted to use images to link to the SD site on the web, but that’s not the same as making a printed copy of the image.
So my question is, how do I/can I get permission to use one of Slug’s pictures? Does the Chicago Reader hold the copyright, or Slug? Who’s in charge of this stuff, anyway?
