    Hello all,

    Would like to know the guidelines on this one.. When selling spoofed stuff on the net or ebay. When am I violating trademark issues?

    Like I cant sell a shirt with a beatles name on it right? I'm fairly new here but I know someone who can help me who is just getting big but I think some of his merchandise is violating trademark laws..I want to do business as ethical as possible.

    You would have to be a lot more specific, but generally speaking, if you are using the mark of someone else, you are putting yourself at risk. A knockoff "beatles" shirt is certainly infringement.
