LMAO probably.

But anyways whoever mentioned Dale Earnhart is right. I mean they probably have the right to sue you but it's just that no one's as big of an asshole to actually sue someone... well except for that bitch.

She owns Pac's image, and everything surrounding it (which includes his face). Apparently you are selling it for profit so I can see a few reasons why she could sue you.

This is ridiculous.

I got a portrait of Pac tatted on my right shoulder, is she gonna sue me for that?? The fuck?

Not unless you plan on cutting your arm off and selling it on Ebay. :D

But anyway, as for the topic, thats what most artists and estates do when someone tries to profit off of their face/music. Even Prince has a long history of suing his own fans for doing similar stuff.

Ive been CafePress.com'ing and it took Afeni less than 12 hours to sue me over the use of Tupac's face on a T-shirt.

Answer me this, how can someone get away with putting Bush's face on a shirt, putting the Pope's face on a shirt, but not Tupac's? How the hell can Afeni copywrite someones face?

difference is that politictians represent the people, and are openly public domain, where Tupac is not. For example leonardo's stuff is open used on T's and stuff... he's public domain.

rediculous...if she gonna sue you then have her put the money into production of the next album instead of waiting for motherfuckers to do wack jobs for free...nothin against em but we all know how wack that job was, come on, so monotonous not even funny

Are you sure you're knowledgable enough of copyright laws? Maybe, she does have grounds to sue.

Any1 who even took a basic law class or even read a basic law book would know she can sue you and make u take this off the site.


Exp. If ur name is Eddy Murphy and u own a store and call it Eddy Murphy's , the famous eddy can acctually sue you for using his name because he is a public figure and your not(i kno the situation that rukas is in is a lil diff. but u get the picture).

Celebs have different rights then the average joe ... rukus becareful man she can come after u with this.

if you want a shirt with pacs face...buy some makaveli gear
i think shes right to sue that guy...hes trying to make money off tupac
and that is wrong.
hes just mad now because he cant make some free cash by using pac face to sell some cheap nasty t-shirts.

There are ways to avoid it... don't sell it for a profit is one way, and you can still get your message across.

Using 2pacs name 2 advertise a web site .... Yes she still can sue him, but is it worth it 2 her? It all depends on the ppl who r sueing and who they r sueing. She wont sue sum lik kid who made a t shirt wit pacs name on but if ur trying 2 promote a certain thing with 2pacs name she can sue ur ass off.

The message rukas has is good and i support it but shyt lifes not fair. I never seen rukas do 2pac wrong so no 1 should say that . Shyt he didnt do bizzness with 2pacs enemys b4 .. i mean shyt how many of u will put 2pac infront of ur pocketbooks?

All rukas is tryin 2 say is Keep 2pacs ART the way HE MADE IT. U cant take a Picaso(how ever u spell it) and "update it" to make it fit 2005. I dont even think a lot of 2pacs work is even outdated just might need a lil tweaking or maybe enhanced.

Hey 1 good thing did come from this Afeni is noticing that 2pac fans r very unhappy with what is happening with his music . I know she does not owe us anything but she owes her son a lil more .

no disrespect 2 Afeni .

at the day of the day the guy can make whatever he wants with tupacs face on in
but if hes making money off the sales..
and then keeps it for him self then thats fucked up
and afeni should sue his ass
look at it this way...
without pac face=cheap t-shirt (no sales)
with pac face = high sales plus cash for him
he cant get away with that
like i said before...if the fans want gear with pac on it
we can get a ton from the makaveli line
its not like hes doing the fans a favor by selling us tupac t-shirts
like we cant already get them
they are everywhere....
but if you where selling them
and giving the cash from sales to poor folks/homeless etc etc
then that would be fine

so i have a Q?
what where you gonna do with the money you made off these shirts?

I doubt Afeni had anything to do with this, just lawyers doing what they are paid to do!

Do you realise how much money we have sunk into this website? Im hardly trying to get rich off of Tupac, come on now. :rolleyes:
 
its not solely afeni doing this you know... i dont think she would be surfing the net making notes on all the websites that have 2pac items which are sold without royalties to amaru. afeni is the one you see whenever amaru comes up anywhere, but she does not run it alone...
people at amaru do this, because amaru is a business, and in this case, "free tupac" is bad for business.truthfully, it is insulting to their decisions, regardless of whether they are right or wrong in everyone's eyes.
afeni probably hasnt even heard of this yet and maybe will never, because its all handled quickly...

Re invest back into 2PacBoard.com and FreeTupac.com

don't take any shit from them. they are just scaring you with all the legal mumbo jumbo. make it clear that all profits go to the free tupac movement.they can't sue you for shit. they might be on your ass for awhile,but tell them if they don't stop harrassing you, you will take it to the courts. Once you make that clear to them they won't get near you again. I run several businesses and I've seen all this bullshit lawyers try to put on you.

If you don't believe me call up a lawyer and he'll tell you the exact same thing

good luck
