What does that mean. I get an letter from an attorney asking me what legal right do I have to sell the item in question.
The item in questions has been around for years and royalities are paid.
I find it strange that the attorney for the celeb in questions doesn't know which anything about a licensed item that has been sold for years?

If you are selling a licensed item, there is no copyright infringement. Email the attorney with the information of who is licensing this product, and tell them to deal with them and not you. I had the exact same situation selling a licensed major league baseball photo. An attorney from the player in question emailed me, saying I could not sell this photo, due to copyright infringement. I gave them the info from who was licensing the photo, and told him to contact them, and not me. They never contacted me again, and I continue to sell the photo. These attorneys try to intimidate the little guy. Once they know they will have to deal with a bigger fish, they will back off.

I told the vendor about it and they told me not to worry about it. They pay big royalites to the licensing company for years. However I wonder what prompts someone to write a letter like that. Someone suggested it might be another seller but that does not make sense to me either.
