there have been landmark lawsuits regarding parody/satire, free speech and copyrights. there are hundreds of tshirts i've seen using famous logos for humor.

i wouldn't sweat it TGF, the worst that happens is u get a C&D from some company and take down, stop selling that one.

Underground comix artist Robert Crumb went all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States defending himself against Walt Disney and won. He had done comix with Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck fucking, doing drugs, twisted stuff.
