Just curious as to what the official policy is regarding this, as I have seen several items in the marketplace that VERY STRONGLY resemble copyright characters or props/settings that were specifically developed by others as IP (intellectual property). By this I mean that anyone in their right mind would see the item for sale and think immediately of the original IP. ANd as for "resemble" I mean they look exactly like items that were developed for movies/TV/etc, and the item for sale looks exactly like the original item. As this market is small and out of the way of notice of Hollywood, there really is not much of a problem, but you never know. With them harping on digital media, I can see them noticing this and then coming down hard on this site. - Ray
