It's graffiti, Irrelevant - it's Homer Simpson whose image is owned by however owns the Simpson's which means anyone wanting to make use of the image of Homer needs to get a license. Technically the graffiti artist is also in trouble for IP infringement but finding the offender would seem unlikely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasond Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Having grown up with copyright and trade marks, etc to deal with, I assure you I felt suitably uncomfortable posting Homer's pic. If the artist had put in more hair I could have claimed he'd sprayed my portrait, but .... I was relieved to be able to copy this off Reddit/Graffiti and hopefully Fox will be satisfied with the accuracy and (money-earning?) publicity to make them ignore it. Their cost of taking this to court with Reddit will persuade them, for me a simple instruction to remove it would do. RMWeb's Ts and Cs and chargeable adverts and ...? Oh darn it, another job for tomorrow.... A browser link to it instead of the actual pic is always a safe bet for us. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There likely is no issue posting the picture - it is simply documenting a real thing. My point regarding licensing was referencing having a model produced - Atlas/whoever would need a license to recreate that graffiti. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMO Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 (edited) They are very nice models. I like the fine details like the small chains underneath the chassis. But, yes, the price is too high (for me). And it don't includes the custom fees. I keep my "old" Intermountain and Atlas models.

mdvle Posted December 25, 2022 Author Share Posted December 25, 2022 They are brass which is reflected in the price. But they are also a way for Tangent to try and judge the interest in O models - specifically 2-rail and P48 - without the risk of expensive tooling.

They might get an idea of demand in a tiny niche area of a niche interest, but not demand at the "Affordable by Mortals" end of 2-rail O. 😉 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
