Hey guys,

 

Just making a repaint of WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) private jet. This is my first ever repaint and i am just wondering can i upload the WWE logo onto the plane or would that be against copyright?

 

Thank you

 

Ryan

Anyone?

Go for it.

Go for it.

 

I won't get done for copyright law then? 

Of course nobody can ever guarantee that, but what's the difference between using a WWE logo, versus a specific airline logo, on any repaints you might see in the library here?

 

It would depend on a specific company. For example, I know a lot of times, Disney simply sends a message to either the host site (Avsim for example) or the uploading author, just telling them to take the file down... this would apply to some of those Disney-themed Alaska planes. I've never heard of such a company pursuing legal action against anyone for a repaint, it would not be worth their time/funding to go after something of that nature. Although, I am certainly not a lawyer and don't claim any sort of expertise on the subject -- all I can offer is advice as someone who has painted and uploaded for over 10 years without a single issue.

 

Also see 'fair use.'

 

Now, if you are going to use the logo in any derogatory way, such as "XXX company sucks" and slap their logo next to that "slogan" and distribute it, then you'll surely have issues.

 

Simply put, you should not have any issues making a fictional repaint with decent usage of a company branding, and uploading it as a free product to a file library. Avsim would be at risk for hosting the file, and as such, any uploads they see come through that might have legal issues, they would likely reject it right away.

Thank you. I know i am asking questions a lot which seem simple round here but i am just getting into it. I appreciate the reply thank you.
