Swimmingly Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I was thinking about the possibility of t-shirts for 17S, when something occurred to me: 17th Shard is an in-universe organization, so Brandon presumably owns the name. So, if we theoretically made 17S merchandize, would we need to get the rights from Brandon first? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubix Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 That's between Brandon and the site, actually. We are using the name (modified for URL convenience, yes) with Brandon's direct permission. I don't really want to get too into it before I have things in writing, but from the discussions I've had with Brandon I do have the right to make merchandise bearing the name 17th Shard. Also, in Brandon's work, you can search for "17th Shard" all you want and you'll never find it. The in-universe organization is always referred to as the "Seventeenth Shard". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmingly Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Haha that's a good point We'd probably need a few more people before we'd make any revenue off of merchandize here anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Joe in the Bush Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I'll Buy a T-shirt if you do make them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
