Fallout gear copyright?

Post » Wed Jul 30, 2014 3:04 am

I've just bought some fallout t-shirts from a website, but once they arrived I noticed that they were the copyright holders of the images. But how can this be? I am currently wearing a beautiful "Please Stand By" logo that was clearly created by the artists at Bethesda, and these blokes are claiming they own the copyright.

Are all these t-shirt companies just crossing their fingers hoping Bethesda doesn't shut them down, or have merchandise licenses actually been handed out?

The 'Please Stand By' was an actual thing, Bethesda doesn't own it.
