Got ahold of another one of these. Only have one. $75 shipped
(anywhere in the US. International is more). Size is 50 X 60. This is
brand new, machine washable.

Interesting that they have color changing LEDs in the one used for the
pic. Wonder who's it was (it isn't yours is it Neo?). I still wish
whoever made it would have used the backglass or flyer image instead of
a playfield pic...would make for a better looking blanket. Still a
pretty cool piece!

Brings up an interesting point. Is a photo of something you own,
printed onto something else, in this case a blanket, copyright
infringement? Regardless of who made the item you own that you've
photographed?

I'd think the photograph wouldn't be infringement, even if sold, so
would the blanket be infringement?

That is true. My dad used to professional photography for art exhibits.
Sold a lot of his work of buildings and specific materials. He didn't
own the buildings he took pictures of, but he did own the film and took
the pictures himself. Just like the guys who have famous Beatles
pictures. They own the film, they can sell the photo. Plus, I don't
think the blanket will be competition for Williams, Sterns or JJP.
I'm not going in the blanket business anyway. This is just something
i'm sampling with.

In my not-so-lay opinion, yes it would be. There are many exceptions to
copyright infringement (buildings and other objects in public places,
private usage, incidental background, for review purposes, etc.) but
none seem to apply here. Transferring copyrighted artwork onto an item
and selling it appears to be a legal no-no. And, regardless of selling
price, statutory damages start at $750 per infringing item, not
something to sneeze at. (Basically, the blanket maker/seller is making
money off of someone else's creative work without permission.) It's
like the barstools I've seen posted for sale; nobody would pay the
asking price without the artwork, which is somebody else's IP. I do this
stuff for a living, fwiw....

More so the blanket, or almost any other product that contains
'copyrighted' works.
There are some 'gray area' arguments that can be debated with
photographic works.

Uh, I think I see some ghosting in those inserts. As such, I feel you
should consider lowering your price... :-)

what? bullshit. :) I don't have ghosting inserts on my machine. Well
maybe an asshair on Ring insert, but it's minimal.

The Roy Lichtenstein exhibit is here in Chicago. How did he get away
with stealing all the comic book art? Curious. Was no one around to
protect that material? Met some local comic artists and they HATE
him.

These would look better if printed on canvas or vinyl like wallpaper.

exactly. It's an art piece. Piece of art to snuggle up on the couch
with and play video games. :)

Walmart, 8 bucks a pop for kids, and about 12-14 for the adult sizes.
Two of them, lack of interest but work as well or better. Tops, 20
bucks vs, 75.

Every once in a while, maybe 2-3 months these come up for sale. I'm
still laughing at how someone can and will bid on such at 40 bucks a
pop. Lets be honest, its 4x what its worth.

Btw, i'll take one, in every machine made from 87-2012, by all 4 of the
main manufacturers.
