I've had trouble figuring out. My friends are screen printing politically oriented messages on T-shirts, and sell them at various rallies and open air markets. The catch is, all the shirts they print on are used, and therefore contain a message from the original marketer. Clearly it is legal to sell used t-shirts, and clearly it would be illegal to PRINT SOMEONE ELSE'S art or message on your own poltically oriented shirt. But how might this situation fit in?
Example: Could Disney bring any action against a person or organizatoin that sold a used Mickey Mouse T-shirt with the words "FREE TIBET" printed next to his head?
