Threadless is a world of it's own taste wise. The TOS isn't that bad (I have had Much worse) They only own copyright for apparel and wall stickers everything else remains with the creator I think. Actually I was kind of using it to stimulate some creative work and to be less precious about it. Just to get stuff out there. E-cards. In my ideal dream world I'd be sitting here churning out e-cards for an adoring public and living off the profits. The grim reality is that to even think of going there I'd need a large enough catalog of cards that people could have enough choice that they would pay. (Everyone sending and receiving the same card is a bit of a barrier there) Maybe one day. Until then its a pretty good marketing device. I am much happier sending people emails with cool free stuff rather than pestering them for work :-) Dave Hey Chad.

The administrators have a great deal of say whether or not a design passes as well. They had a pretty draconian "we own this design forever" if it's picked terms of service agreement if I recall. So on the brighter side.. you still own this design. ( not sure their copyright / TOS would cover a Brit anyhoo ) Interesting about your e-card site! I have worked for a large e-card company for many years, and thought to do this myself. Is this a money making venture? I'm curious...

I agree, well I would. The way that Threadless works is that the shirt buying audience votes and they said no. I'm not really the Ideal person to design T-shirts as I only wear plain ones. It is a great thing to do to stimulate personal work and also get a bit of unbiased feed back. I will be doing it again at some point. Thanks Zeb. I agree, well I would.
