Barry who

This "if its not your idea then it is a breech" is incorrect where copyright is concerned if I have an idea for a design and say to 2 different designers this is what I want and they go off and each produce a design, the one who finnishes second is not in breach of the one who finnishes first.

No because designer 1 had no knowledge of what designer 2 was doing. He wasn't copying designer 2, he was working to a brief which you supplied. Who owns the copyright depends on what contract was agreed. It's a hypothetical argument without seeing the two designs!

In copyright you need to be able to demonstrate that the infringer had seen your original creation in order to copy it.

You make some fair points Mugbox and agree we are all adult enough to move on

P.S. You can print as many tee's you want with Barry Styles as I have no idea who he is

[Themugbox]

I think he is related to Barry Trotter that wizard fella

[tracyreed]

lol, I think Barry is Harry Styles twin bro

[socialgiraffe]

No Larry is the twin of Harry, Barry could be the uncle but that might be Gary

[ArferMo]

Ah Gary Barry isn't that a good friend of Halle Berry

[Quinsfan]

Isn't she the granddaughter daughter of Chuck

I realise this post has gotten much more light hearted but I will tell you what happened to me
I started embroidery a few years back and wanted a particular dog outline, at the time I could not digitise and my friend did one for me.
Well I turned that into a Christmas tree decoration (cheap naff made out of felt £3 worth) I advertised it on the particular
breed facebook page :redface: ( you can see where this is going can't you? )
Lady says 'oh that looks like a drawing I did a couple of years back' and posts pic of said drawing there was absolutely no denying it was her drawing :frown:

I messaged her and apologised profusely, asked friend where she had the shape from and she said google, I did not tell the lady a friend had done it for me as I could see no point in someone else being involved. She said she was happy for me to use it for myself but not to sell it. I explained to her I actually had already sold it :frown:

I told her who too, how much, and how much profit I had made from it I also gave her the customers details so she could check everything I said was kosher
I asked could i buy the design from her which she said she would think about.

It gave me such a scare as a newbie I am very careful now, I designed my own outline (that was much better than hers ) and have made a lot of money from it and (fingers crossed) I never heard from her again
