The (Browncoat) Invoice

sffan, ana_grrl, human_loser, inasahl, smlslikecrotch, skripka, I be looking at you.

But y'all are much more with-it than I am, and probably have already been discussing this for a week.

i don't think anyone's being that dumb, are they?

I got the impression that everyone making anything affiliated was being shut down (or was pre-emptively shutting themselves down), and that's what I find ridiculous. Of course I'm not supportive of stealing other people's art and selling it and making money!

(Though honestly, wouldn't it have made more sense to approach people with "desist or license" propositions?)

Mostly, I think it's the timing that's dumb. Joss called the Blue Sun shirts "free advertising" (at least in one interview that I've read) and no legal action was taken a year ago, which makes one assume that as long as Universal needed promotion for the film, they were going to turn a blind eye to non-official merch. Now, however, it's a problem. Seems a little lacking in high ground to me.
