Is it legal to put the Harley Davidson logo OR even the name Harley
Davidson on a garment that I would wear or is that also an infringement? I was
told that as long as you were reproducing licensed logo for PERSONAL use (not
reselling) it was OK. I don't want to do this for even personal use if it is a
violation of copyrights.

Depends on what you are going to do with it-if it is for a 'one shot
deal'-someones' shirt-then you are not 'representing' it as 'your work' and not
'selling copies of copyrighted artwork' as your own. But if someone wants you
to run off a whole batch and then sell them-that's a no no.
I've seen that phrase used for someone that is a 'gymnast'-and
something else...
copyright infringement gets you into court when you :
€run off a batch of items that duplicate 'copyrights' (batman
teeshirts, for example)
€'charge' for artwork that is copyrighted (Corel art disks-you cannot
'charge' someone else to use the corel artwork, or pass it off as your own-but
you CAN use it to 'create' custom artwork)
€copy other items for sale and charge for them (doing Harley Davidson
ANYTHING is a no no-they have legal snoops that look for that stuff as a
permanent job!) Even a 'Harley repair shop' I know here was forced to remove a
Harley BANNER from his window-because although he REPAIRED harley motorcycles,
HE wasn't a 'registered' Harley shop!
€get caught....
so you have to find out what it is going to be used for. 'Lord of the
RIngs' is a book, a movie, etc. but the 'saying' can be used for other things,
and the FONT macedon is an 'established' font-they can't stop anyone from using
it....
use your judgement!
