Confused about what sort of artwork you can have on tshirts that you sell without infringing copyright
So I want to sell some tshirts that are inspired by the work and albums of musicians by interpreting their albums and creating symbolic images that may or may not incorporate their song titles and maybe album title on the shirt but where is the line drawn?
I know you can’t use celebrity likenesses on shirts or song lyrics on shirts but I still see those everywhere and especially on the sight redbubble where independent artists sell shirts that, for instance, have Kendrick lamars album name “DANM.” across the shirt.
Can you do this or are these people just taking their chances. Where is the line drawn with copyrights on this stuff?

Brits are going to get much poorer this year
LONDON — Wages in Britain are forecast to rise by the lowest rate in three and a half years, according to a new survey of employers.
A survey of over 1,000 companies by recruiter Adecco and the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) found employers are planning to raise staff pay by an average of just 1% in the year ahead. That is the lowest rate of pay increase recorded by the quarterly survey in three and a half years.
The expected slowdown in pay growth amounts to a real-world pay cut for staff, as prices in Britain are rising rapidly.
Inflation is currently running at 2.3% and the Bank of England last week said it expects inflation to peak at close to 3% towards the end of the year.
Gerwyn Davies, Labour Market Adviser at the CIPD, says in a release: “There is a real risk that a significant proportion of UK workers will see a fall in their living standards as the year progresses, due to a slowdown in basic pay and expectations of inflation increases over the next few months.
“This could create higher levels of economic insecurity and could have serious implications for consumer spending, which has helped to support economic growth in recent months.”
Bank of England Governor Mark Carney said last week that “both household spending and GDP growth have slowed markedly” in recent months, saying it is a delayed effect of Britain’s vote last year to leave the European Union. The pound collapsed against the dollar and the euro in the wake of last June’s vote and has not recovered since. This has made the cost of importing goods such as food and clothing more expensive, hence the price rises.
Despite the expected wage growth slowdown, Adecco and CIPD’s survey found companies are still planning to hire, suggesting inflation is not hitting the bottom line of businesses yet. The net employment balance, which measures the difference between the share of employers expanding their workforce and the share of employers reducing their workforce, stands at +20, slightly down from the previous quarter’s figure of +23.
Alex Fleming, Managing Director of Adecco UK & Ireland, says in a release: “Not only is employment confidence high in some sectors but also, promisingly, this quarter’s net employment balance remained positive.”
Fleming flags evidence of a skills shortage in Britain, with 56% of employers saying they are struggling to fill all their vacancies. This is most apparent in the manufacturing and production industries.
Fleming says: “Skills shortages continue to be evident in the UK labour market and employers need to be addressing this issue head-on with thorough planning.
“UK employers need to take investment in skills and people seriously to protect the future of our economy.”

Lawsuit Threatens Congressional Tool for Fighting Overreaching Regulations
A radical environmentalist organization has filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking to strike down the Congressional Review Act, a 1996 law that allows Congress to cancel final rules published by federal agencies. The Congressional Review Act (CRA) has been used heavily in the 115th Congress to cancel last-minute rules finalized by the Obama administration.
Under the CRA, Congress has 60 legislative days to pass a resolution of disapproval to cancel a final rule published by a federal agency. Both chambers of Congress have to pass the resolution, which is not subject to a filibuster in the Senate, and be signed by the president. The CRA, which, after a rule has been canceled, prevents a federal agency from a rulemaking that is “substantially the same,” was a product of bipartisan work between Sens. Don Nickles (R-Okla.) and Harry Reid (D-Nevada).
In total, Congress has passed 14 resolutions of disapproval to cancel rules finalized between June 13, 2016 and January 19, 2017. Thirteen of these resolutions of disapproval, known as “CRAs” have been signed into law by President Donald Trump. Prior to the 115th Congress, only one rule had been canceled under the CRA. In 2001, Congress passed a CRA that canceled the Department of Labor’s costly ergonomics rule. President George W. Bush signed it into law. (For more on the CRA, please read FreedomWorks’ issue brief, Combating the Regulatory State Through Congressional Action.)
In April, the Center for Biological Diversity filed a lawsuit against the Department of the Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke over a CRA, H.J. Res. 69, that canceled a Department of the Interior rule that prevented the disposal of certain predators in wildlife refuges in Alaska. Using the Supreme Court’s decision in Chadha (1983) as the basis for its challenge, this radical environmentalist organization argues that the CRA is unconstitutional because it prevents a federal agency from promulgating a rule that is “substantially the same” without amending the law under which the original rule was finalized.
“With passage of the Joint Resolution, the CRA now bars Interior from any future rulemaking that is ‘substantially the same’ as the nullified Refuges Rule. 5 U.S.C. § 801(b)(2). It thereby restricts Interior’s rulemaking authority without amending – through bicameralism and presentment – any of the statutes that authorize Interior to manage national wildlife refuges in Alaska,” the lawsuit claims. “The CRA’s prohibition on future rulemaking ‘in substantially the same form’ as the Refuges Rule therefore unconstitutionally infringes on the powers of the executive branch in violation of the separation of powers.”
Chadha struck down a unicameral legislative veto in Section 244(c)(2) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, meaning one that passed only one chamber of Congress. Chief Justice Warren Burger wrote, “The prescription for legislative action in Art. I, § 1 — requiring all legislative powers to be vested in a Congress consisting of a Senate and a House of Representatives — and § 7 — requiring every bill passed by the House and Senate, before becoming law, to be presented to the President, and, if he disapproves, to be repassed by two-thirds of the Senate and House — represents the Framers’ decision that the legislative power of the Federal Government be exercised in accord with a single, finely wrought and exhaustively considered procedure. This procedure is an integral part of the constitutional design for the separation of powers.”
Because the CRA is consistent with the principles of bicameralism and the Presentment Clause laid out in Chadha, the law is constitutional. The Pacific Legal Foundation has filed a motion to dismiss the Center for Biological Diversity’s lawsuit on these and other grounds. ” CBD’s claim that the resolution of disapproval is unconstitutional because it withdraws authority from the Department of Interior without amending the statute under which that authority was previously exercised is meritless and has no basis in the Constitution’s text or precedent,” the motion from the Pacific Legal Foundation explains. The law, the motion notes, was written specifically to statisfy the Supreme Court’s decision in Chadha.
The case is currently pending before the United States District Court for the District of Alaska. Six of the seven judges on the court were appointed by Republican presidents. Alaska does fall within the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which is known for its leftist tilt.
