Lazar, my uneducated guess is three of the four are licensed. The other is a google search. That's not what's at play. This thread is about a website that's not licensed.

I don't know, but they are not a specific website offering the art. Is that hard to grasp?
I have no dog in the fight, but you are correct anyone can print anything. I do not see your "slippery slope".

The link above made me look. Of all the collectible tins of BS, the following are not among them.
I don't see a slippery slope, either.
But you are funnin', aren't you?
They are all too poor resolution to produce a satisfactory print at actual size.

I was being sarcastic ashdigger, because I think this whole thread is absurd. The thing is, it is so obviously a "fan" website, with bad spellings, clumsy disclaimers etc. The guy has even made up amateurish tin "art" for bulk blends that have no art. I think it's invidious to threaten him with legal action for such a low-level "crime" - which is really just hobbyist enthusiasm and geekery. The kind of thing that is keeping pipe smoking alive.
lazar: It's a legal thing. It's not a feelings thing. It's not an opinion thing. It's about ownership. But, your observation
appears untenable. Hyperbole? How in the world is this true? SToP are peopled with the sort that are helping to keep smoking alive.
And all because they were trying to do something nice for their fellow pipers. No good deed goes unpunished, I suppose.
Ukelecowboy, open a vegetarian fast food restaurant and name it McDonald's. See how fast lighting strikes and you get "served".
Look up McDonald's history, they protect their brand and they would crush you. They. Don't. Care. What. Your. Intentions. Are. Full stop.
Maybe, but if it's true that"anyone who knows the Standard Tobacco team know us to be the most reasonable guys around." As what's his face said they would take aoral high ground position and not be like McDonald's. What it really would down to, is they're at the mercy of governments and are currently getting screwed, so what do they do? Find someone smaller to screw over.
This is so true. I used to do electrical work for one of their distribution centers and all they ever talked about was protecting their brand.
I guess I was just lamenting that this thread got started and resulted in corporate attention to someone who was not really doing any harm. I mean, so some dude prints out a circle that looks like a tin and slaps in on a mason jar lid.
Yup. We can't have people buying tins of product and then putting an image of the tin they purchased on the lid of a jar in their drawer. That would be too much. Whoever this is needs to go down. Make an example of them so everyone learns to stick to painter's tape and sharpies.
