Tymbo: I used to train people on copyright law--many of them Kinko's employees, in fact, right after the lawsuit. You're off base with that comment. The person/company who develops or prints the image has no "rights to copy", and must have permission of the artist to reproduce the work. Asking Kinko's to copy is in itself permission to reproduce, IF you establish that you are the artist (there's a two-page release, or was when I left Kinko's in 1997) Most likely, the "Harleys" could be legal if they are not advertised as Harleys and don't have any trademarked logos, no matter what they look like. Harley-Davidson has tried to trademark the "look and feel" (and sound :) of their bikes, with only some success. The sound thing didn't go over too well...
