Hello all,
I have some questions about copyright. I have finished my tarot deck, the Pippa Tarot. I have used my own dolls, some of which are even altered with different hair and faces.
I want to have this deck printed. But now I am suddenly faced with a copyright question. I just got the remark from the printer that this deck features copyrighted dolls and so I should get written permission of the manufacturer. That manufacturer (Palitoy) has been bought years and years ago by Tonka and later by Hasbro. And so they don't exist.
My question is, I made a completely new product, with my own dolls. And I made the photographs myself too. Does anyone know if that is allowed and if I need to ask permission for this? Any help on this subject would be helpful.
