Do the Atrium contests void copyrights?

It's an oddly worded blog title, so please allow me to clarify.

Since Threadless has run official contests for the Muppets, Adventure Time and other fun intellectual properties over in the Atrium—does that mean that the copyright policies are a little more relaxed here on the threadless side?

Example: if I were to make a Muppet-ish design that would normally be rejected because it merely skirts the copyright, would it be okay now?

A prime example would be A Crazy Night where a very Kermit like design was changed to a non-descript muppet. Now that Threadless and the Muppets have partnered, would that design have been changed?

Most likely would have been changed, unless they have some sort of ongoing agreement, which they more than likely don't...its most likely on a contest to contest basis

True. I was wondering if the rules were laxed for those once we got 2 additional Adventure Time themed shirts after the winning design had printed.

(and I know that all 3 were part of the atrium contest)

I think your adventure time design is ace, submit it :)

I'm also doing an adventure time design but more like in-the-style-of

Thank you. I'm contemplating it, but I get all sad in the face when a design is rejected for copyright :(

I love the adventure time style, it's perfected simplicity. Can't wait to see your take.

wait, did you try and got declined? If you haven't it's worth a shot
