Merchandise Legal Considerations

Summary

Selling merchandise with a modified phrase from a song involves copyright and trademark considerations. Even if the phrase is altered, it may still be protected under copyright law. Additionally, check if the phrase or song is trademarked. If the merchandise is intended as a parody, it might fall under fair use, but this area of law can be complex. It is advisable to consult with a lawyer to ensure compliance with intellectual property laws and to avoid potential legal issues.
