hi I'm new here

anyway I have a custom image from my fav movie brother bear and I want to turn it into a wallpaper for my room, I have talked to lots of companies but they tell me they don't do that because they don't have the license to do it, so does anyone knows a company or manufacturer that may be able to help me? or maybe a place where I can find a manufacturer with disney's license? I don't know what to do I have been trying to find a company/manufacturer for almost a year and noting!

any help will be appreciated

thank u!

John

I'm not sure where you're from but have you tried http://www.conceptcoverings.co.uk/? They claim to do custom wallpapers and there's no mention of any restrictions. There's an e-mail address on the site that you could use to check.

Any use?

When you say you have a custom image, what exactly is it? A picture, transparency, digital file, poster? I do quite a bit of this and nobody wants to print a copyrighted image. Ususally because the file you have to work with is so low resolution, nobady wants to pay you a couple hundred bucks to make it look decent. That's if you even can. Companies like Disney don't let their high res stuff out the door because of copyrights.That's a couple hundred bucks before you actually print the wallcovering. On top of that, plan on 7 bucks a square foot to run it through a quality print machine and you can get at 1000 bucks pretty quickly. Still interested?

Plenty of guys will do it if you want to pay for it.

What you propose to do is copyright infringement. A court will infer copying by a showing of a "striking similarity" between the copyrighted work and the alleged copy.
