How is copying art different in this scenario?

Quoted from Markharris2000:Its not different and it is possible that the current license holder PPS (if aware) advised them not to make a commercial venture out of this. That poster was planning to use William's artwork for personal gain (apparently) without any arrangement with PPS. I know places like Marco sell those labels, but I suspect there is some type of arrangement with the PPS. There is a very slight chance that the Williams label page was released by Williams for public domain usage, but that is a long-shot and I see no evidence for that possibility.
I would say the label guy was doing the same thing being discussed here. The only difference is the 'artist' for the labels was Williams from way back when, and in this case above it is a real live person now.
You do realize the OP is the person who is making the labels I linked, right?
I work with graphic artists all the time. Copyright infringement too. Scanning and cleaning up someone else's work, or sizing, re-drawing and coloring are done on your end to get your own source file is a razor fine line. If PPS wanted to shut you down, they'd have little problem.
I just want you to be aware that you sound kind of hypocritical. You seem like a nice guy, I just want you to see how you are coming off.
Also, those stickers this guy is selling are god awful. Don't worry about it.
Quoted from Markharris2000:I lost track. My bad...
