I have a question to all those selling Disney themed items online: is it Disney license infringement?
I think if they are inspired by the character they should be okay but not exactly sure - MozPrincess

I'm pretty sure Disney charges so much because people still buy it... And does that mean that if you sell a book online your stealing money from the people who wrote it? If its used? Nope.... - vikkimus

I was going to buy some things for gifts and my cuz said it was a Disney license infringement issue and made me feel guilty. Gave me this whole lecture on why Disney probably have to charge so much due to blah blah blah. :( - Elaine

Well, think of knock-offs or parodies. If something is altered enough from the original design, it may fall outside of copyright. Books, music, art, etc do sometimes fall into the open source category when the copyright lapses (70 or so years after the creator's death?), or when something is just too old to have a copyright. So for example, tenniel Alice in wonderland drawings are not copyrighted, but Disney Alice is (I'm sure they'll keep that copyright maintained). - bluefairy 627.4 #174 12:05AM
I have a Disney embroidery machine. I can embroider for my personal use or gifts. I cannot charge or sell anything I embroider. If I am caught doing so not only will Disney confiscate my machine they will take ALL my thread, computer, fabrics etc. - sewgirl

Wow thats cool of you to have one at least - maxinerenton 415.1 #311 7:23AM
Yeah, actual licensed Disney images would be a no-no. I've even heard that using licensed fabric to make something to sell was a violation. - bluefairy 627.4 #174 7:48AM
Thx guys! Now I don't feel so guilty!!! - Elaine
