I have a question. I'm an illustrator that is interested in making cool posters like these based off of cult classic movies, but I'm not sure about the licensing involved. I'm assuming that most of the artists here haven't signed licensing contracts with the movie companies for their tiny print runs, excepting Mondo.
Is there any sort of fair use laws related to the poster content? Or would could I just operate under the assumption that I'm too small of a fish for the sharks (re: corporate lawyers) to bother if I only do small, limited edition print runs? I mean, I'd be ok with that personally. After all, if I did received a cease and desist letter of some sort, I certainly would both cease and desist.
Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope...
