Does the off switch work when this little iPod gets colicky?

Ok, this is kinda a dumb question but here it goes: HOW CAN THIS BE LEGAL? I’m a t-shirt designer who is about to enter the big, bad, scary world of post-college life and am terribly unsure of copyrights.

The company who produced this surely got permission from apple right? or because its an entirely different product from the iPod and it doesnt show the entire image or the product they can sidestep that whole thing?

Anyone know? Jeremy, you’re a smart switched-on sorta guy, can ya help me out on this one?

Is this compatible with my ipod cradle?

PS. To fully complete the design they need a little hold switch print on the shoulder.

PodBaby - CafePress are t-shirt nazis- they don’t allow for this kind of printing.  If you don’t own the copyright, CafePress can take down your image and not print your shirts. 

I wanted to make a tshirt with a picture of a buddy of mine in a Jets jersey - CafePress wouldn’t print it.

My brother just had twins - a blue one and a pink one—these are going to be sweet!  Maybe now he’ll put down his ipod and pick up his kids!

I guess just when you think you know where the bottom is, someone finds a way to dig a little bit lower. Imbeciles…

Yeah, of course!

I’ve had countless conversations/arguements about this topic, but simply making shirts doesn’t make you a designer. Anyone can produce a shirt, but it takes some knowledge and skill to produce a GOOD shirt.
