+ | == Branding & Image Licensing From Prehistoric Days to Today == | ||
+ | |||
+ | Several years ago, I wrote a few EzineArticles on license imaging,, branding, etc. how it is done,, and what are some of the "tricks of the trade". As all things change, including the way we do business, especially on the Internet, most, if not all of my articles are outdated, though many of the principals remain the same. Lately, I have had several requests for writers, artists, photographers and musicians to share some information, and I will do my best. This article is on the history of it and why it exists and is important. I will write another with more specifics on how to brand in today's marketplace to give some ideas after giving the reader time to research.<br><br>My qualifications include a major in business information management at Western Governors University and ten years of marketing my own offbeat cartoon site and several licensed image gift shops. I launched the cartoon on a true shoestring, maybe three hundred dollars, a beat up computer, and living and working in a friend's abandoned metal warehouse in rural Mississippi in 1997, and a group of team illustrators willing to take a chance on my concepts. The site has grown to be the most visited offbeat cartoon site on the Internet with about 3 million visitors per year and over 8500 images showcased. I have ten stores that feature over 100,000 original products from aprons to wall clocks that "brand" my cartoon image.<br><br>My website was the first offbeat cartoon to be recognized in the Alexa top 100,000 websites, the first to have an offbeat cartoon on real U.S. postage stamps and the first to "go green" with a 100% organic cotton tshirt shop. I say this not for bragging rights, but to show you what can be done with next to nothing (financially) and a powerful idea. When I started, there was none of the goodies we have today on the Internet such as social networking, social bookmarking,, blogging, Google,, pinging, and a host of other tools. Most marketing was done by phone, emails,, and banners.<br><br>Today, with the Internet,, even if you have nothing to brand,, but want to make a decent second income and eventually a career (if you put time and effort into it), you can join an affiliate or associates program and market other's branded products (much like a retail store does today). Tie your rope to a shooting star and grow with it. For instance, any of my stores at Zazzle, like the ones mentioned above, offer associates programs. Zazzle allows you promote products, such as mine and others on your own website or blog and earn a nice commission. Not a bad deal, being able to establish your own online retail store, and not have to put a penny into it other than the website (or free if you use a blog), and article marketing (free) to promote the products, and if you wish, make a budget for Google AdWords and advertise the actual product page and/or your own store with the links and pics of them.<br><br>Branding oneself or one's work has been with us, experts say, since biblical times. Probably one of the most well-known early public relations giants was Paul of Tarsus or St. Paul. Many are not aware of biblical history, but here is an example of what can happen when powerful ideas are put into motion. According to biblical scholars, professors of comparative religion, etc. of which I've been a pro toge, when Jesus came up with the idea to "reform Judaism", he actually was not forming a new religion, just changes (which eventually were done anyway within the religion). Paul on the other hand, was interested in getting the word out to the masses,, and "branding" it a new religion. This new religion, now known as Christianity, was not actually founded until about 65 A.D. Bankrolled by the Roman Empire, and known as The First Church Of Rome, later to be known as Catholicism. Of course,, as time went by, even that split into many new "branded" sects and other forms and interpretations of the religion formed.<br><br>But actually in spirit, branding goes back long before even biblical days. For instance, the early caveman was known to "mark his territory" to let it be known that this was "Grog's food, or Grog's woman, family, etc.). Of course, anthropology has shown us it is primitive and instinctive for man, and woman to want to "leave their mark" in the world. Procreation, oddly enough, is a form of branding, or "keeping our image alive", though it might be a bit basic to look at it that way. It is simply a part of our genetic makeup to keep the species going.<br><br>Fast-forward several millennium, pre-Internet days and we see brands such as Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Yves St. Laurent,, Playboy, Oprah, and many others "getting in on the game". It seemed like magic, at least to many of us, and we wondered "how in the world did they do it"? Like the days of old, branding starts with a powerful idea. The more unique the better, though it is not necessary to re-create the wheel to create a good profitable brand. Take 's "Polo" casual wear. Polo (the little guy on the horse) became so popular, "polo shirts" have now even become known as a generic term, same as T shirts or hoodies.<br><br>Today, with the Internet, we have the same tools available to us that were available to the earlier captains of Industry, and one not even need to form a huge corporation of people to brand oneself or one's work. A good place to start is to Google "Branding a product" or "Branding an image" and do some research. Knowledge is a powerful tool, as is preparation, and learning the public's wants and needs.<br><br>Image licensing is one of the most mysterious, yet largest multi-billion dollar industries in America. Most artists and writing entrepreneurs profit a thousand-fold more from it than actual publishing. Charles Schultz, creator of Peanut's, said that he made eighty million to every one million he made in newspaper publishing. That would probably be several billion today. Gone With The Wind took a risk, and created T shirts and movie posters to get the word out about it (the first movie to ever do so), out of fear they would lose money due to the prohibitive cost of producing it. The imaged licensed goods have easily made into the billions and still sell well today.<br><br>For those who want to join the official branding/license imaging association, I recommend LIMA. Membership is a bit pricey and is for serious marketers, artists, publishers, manufacturers etc. It is a place to network with the "big dogs" such as Hallmark, etc. Their list of members is estensive and, if you can budget it, worth the price. It is a good place to have your work seen and network with others looking for such work, learn about trade shows etc. If you are on a "true shoestring" as i was, joining such associations is out of the question. But there are ways around it; to be featured in part dieux of this article.Related articles: | ||

Wearing Sensual Pirate Costumes
For a woman, going to a fancy dress party can be a great excuse to wear a really sexy outfit. There are quite a number of different things to choose from that can look really good. One of the largest factors which you have to consider when you are deciding on what to wear is how much self confidence you have. You do not want to make yourself stand out from the crowd if it is going to make you feel uncomfortable all evening and ultimately ruin the whole party for you. There are still plenty of outfits to choose from even if are not daring enough to wear something with a short skirt or a low-cut top. You can still manage to look really alluring without showing off your legs.
Pirate costumes for women can look very sexy and still be relatively simple. For the less confident lady, there is the option of dressing up in a man's style of outfit with some small feminine touches added to it. For example, you could wear some fairly plain-looking trousers with a wide leather belt. This will help to exaggerate your waistline and hips. Perhaps you could wear a man's shirt with the belt over the top of it? For ladies who are a bit more daring they could have the shirt unbuttoned quite low and wear a nice necklace that is in keeping with pirate costumes.
Another possibility is a nice skirt or dress worn with leather boots. Have a look at Keira Knightley in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movies and the style of her clothes. If you can find yourself a dress that has got a lace-up front then it will look really nice with a pair of black or brown boots even if it is long. This is the good thing about pirate costumes; there are so many different ways to dress. Again,, for braver ladies that want something that is a bit more 'naughty', there is the option of a lace-up dress that is a bit too tight and a little on the short side...
Pirate costumes for women will often have very high leather boots which, when worn with something short, will guarantee to make you the centre of attention amongst the party's male guests. The only thing about these types of boots is that they can be very expensive... Fortunately there are many fancy dress outlets that hire out pirate costumes as well as selling them.
So, as you can now see, to look sexy at a fancy dress party, it is not necessary to dress up in a saucy nurse's outfit (unless of course your boyfriend likes the idea of it...). Pirate costumes are a great way to look sexy and a little bit different to all of the other guests. You can be as demure or risque as you want to and still stand out from everyone else. After all,, what fun would it be for a girl to dress up as just another French maid or sexy vampiress?

Comfortable and Cheap Polo Shirts Are Loved by Men and Women
Polo shirts require no introduction to those who are aware of the Western wear. And by now,, countries all over the world are in love with them.
The history of polo shirts actually goes back to a few hundred centuries when the men of England designed a unique kind of shirt for playing polo. The popularity of polo shirts increased rapidly and steadily as they began to be worn by players of golf as well. With the turn of the twentieth century, they became popular as regular dress, and received a permanent place among the apparel branches in Western clothing.
The first ever brand of polo shirts was Lacoste,, named after famous tennis player Rene Lacoste. The trend of Rene Lacoste on the tennis field was so aggressive and determined, that he was given the nickname of he crocodile? And this remained the logo of Lacoste, keeping with the energetic feel of sportsman Lacoste.

m Louis Vuitton Judgment Shows Limits Of Isp Safe Harbors
M Louis Vuitton judgment shows limits of ISP safe harbors
Louis Vuitton sued two ISPs in federal court, charging that they had waived their immunity from lawsuits by knowingly hosting sites hawking Louis Vuitton knockoffs. A jury agreed, handing over $32 million in damages and showing the limits of the DMCA's "safe harbor."
The best feature of the much-maligned Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is its "safe harbor" for Internet service providers, who can't be held liable for what customers do using their networks. Mostly. There are limits, and Louis vitton found them this week in a federal court. The luxury cheap-louisvuitton-handbags/louis-vuitton-womens-damier-ebene-canvas-naviglio-ebony-n45255-p-4451.html goods maker won $32 million from two ISPs and the man who ran them after proving to a jury that the ISPs had full knowledge that they hosted mainly websites for counterfeit goods""and refused to take action.
The two ISPs are Akanoc and Managed Solutions Group, both run out of Fremont, California by one Steven Chen. According to Louis vitton's July 2008 complaint, Chen's companies "were formed for and exist primarily to facilitate the promotion and advertisement of offers for counterfeit and infringing merchandise." The ISPs hosted a huge array of sites offering fake Vuitton purses, wallets, and bags""sites like Luxury2us, Louis-vuitton-bags and HandBagSell.
Sites like Louis-vuitton-bags made clear that they were selling replica products"""No one will know that they are not the original Louis Vuitton purse"""but the replicas include numerous Vuitton trademarked symbols.
Lawyers from Vuitton notified the two ISPs of the many counterfeit sites, but received no response. Further investigation found that "most, if not all of the websites hosted by the ISP defendants are engaged in the trafficking of counterfeit merchandise."
A harbor's limits
So Louis Vuitton 09 New Arrivals Bags aimed to cut off the head of the snake, going after the ISPs in court. Predictably, the ISP responses cited the DMCA's safe harbor provisions, but the law is clear: ISPs can't enjoy immunity for illegal activity that they knew was taking place. As spelled out in the DMCA, ISPs are immune from liability only if they meet the following criteria:
(A)(i) does not have actual knowledge that the material or an activity using the material on the system or network is infringing;
(ii) in the absence of such actual knowledge, is not aware of facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent; or
(iii) upon obtaining such knowledge or awareness, acts expeditiously to remove, or disable access to, the material;
(B) does not receive a financial benefit directly attributable to the infringing activity, in a case in which the service provider has the right and ability to control such activity; and
(C) upon notification of claimed infringement as described in paragraph (3), responds expeditiously to remove, or disable access to, the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity.
After a trial in northern California last week, the jury found Chen and his two ISPs liable for aiding the infringement of Replica Louis Vuitton Cosmetic Pouch trademarks. They awarded $31.5 million in damages and an additional $900,000 for another offense.
At least the jurors could eat well while deliberating the case; a note in the official court docket orders the Jury Commissioner to "furnish morning refreshments and lunch in the above entitled matter at the expense of the United States District Court through Le Boulanger for the members of the jury during deliberations."
The ruling could still be appealed, but it sends a message that juries are willing to find ISPs liable for aiding infringement, DMCA or no. While the principle of not being able to profit from knowledge of infringement is a good one, the devil is in the details. Imagine a scenario in which an ISP is notified about alleged trademark or copyright infringement on a corporate complaint website that they host. Because the ISP isn't in the trademark or copyright business, it can't tell if the complaint is accurate or an attempt to shut down criticism.
What does it do? If it fails to shut down the site, will courts conclude that it had "knowledge" of cheap-louisvuitton-handbags/louis-vuitton-womens-damier-ebene-canvas-evora-mm-azur-n41133-p-4436.html the infringing activity? But if just starts shuttering sites based on complaints from rightsholder, it finds itself in the very situation that the DMCA was designed to shield it from.
Update: As several readers point out, the question of "knowing about infringement" is one that the DMCA's counternotice provision was designed to addressISPs must act on takedown notices, but the targets of those notices can object, at which point the ISP can put the site back up and has done its duty. Further activity must take in place in court, and must be directly between the rightsholder and the website. Apologies for inadvertently leaving this off the end of the post.
The point that I was trying to make concerned the details of how this works in practice. As we've seen numerous times with things like YouTube videos, the DMCA takedown provisions can be used to shut up a dissenting voice, even if it's only for a short period of time and even if there's no intention of pursuing a claim in court. If done in bad faith, this is illegal, but it generates few cases unless a group like the EFF gets involved.
The problem is only magnified when business websites rather than YouTube videos are affected, and it's one reason that some other countries have adopted a "notice and notice" system (the ISP passes the infringement notice along to the target) instead of a "notice and takedown" provision.

Branding & Image Licensing From Prehistoric Days to Today
Several years ago, I wrote a few EzineArticles on license imaging,, branding, etc. how it is done,, and what are some of the "tricks of the trade". As all things change, including the way we do business, especially on the Internet, most, if not all of my articles are outdated, though many of the principals remain the same. Lately, I have had several requests for writers, artists, photographers and musicians to share some information, and I will do my best. This article is on the history of it and why it exists and is important. I will write another with more specifics on how to brand in today's marketplace to give some ideas after giving the reader time to research.
My qualifications include a major in business information management at Western Governors University and ten years of marketing my own offbeat cartoon site and several licensed image gift shops. I launched the cartoon on a true shoestring, maybe three hundred dollars, a beat up computer, and living and working in a friend's abandoned metal warehouse in rural Mississippi in 1997, and a group of team illustrators willing to take a chance on my concepts. The site has grown to be the most visited offbeat cartoon site on the Internet with about 3 million visitors per year and over 8500 images showcased. I have ten stores that feature over 100,000 original products from aprons to wall clocks that "brand" my cartoon image.
My website was the first offbeat cartoon to be recognized in the Alexa top 100,000 websites, the first to have an offbeat cartoon on real U.S. postage stamps and the first to "go green" with a 100% organic cotton tshirt shop. I say this not for bragging rights, but to show you what can be done with next to nothing (financially) and a powerful idea. When I started, there was none of the goodies we have today on the Internet such as social networking, social bookmarking,, blogging, Google,, pinging, and a host of other tools. Most marketing was done by phone, emails,, and banners.
Today, with the Internet,, even if you have nothing to brand,, but want to make a decent second income and eventually a career (if you put time and effort into it), you can join an affiliate or associates program and market other's branded products (much like a retail store does today). Tie your rope to a shooting star and grow with it. For instance, any of my stores at Zazzle, like the ones mentioned above, offer associates programs. Zazzle allows you promote products, such as mine and others on your own website or blog and earn a nice commission. Not a bad deal, being able to establish your own online retail store, and not have to put a penny into it other than the website (or free if you use a blog), and article marketing (free) to promote the products, and if you wish, make a budget for Google AdWords and advertise the actual product page and/or your own store with the links and pics of them.
Branding oneself or one's work has been with us, experts say, since biblical times. Probably one of the most well-known early public relations giants was Paul of Tarsus or St. Paul. Many are not aware of biblical history, but here is an example of what can happen when powerful ideas are put into motion. According to biblical scholars, professors of comparative religion, etc. of which I've been a pro toge, when Jesus came up with the idea to "reform Judaism", he actually was not forming a new religion, just changes (which eventually were done anyway within the religion). Paul on the other hand, was interested in getting the word out to the masses,, and "branding" it a new religion. This new religion, now known as Christianity, was not actually founded until about 65 A.D. Bankrolled by the Roman Empire, and known as The First Church Of Rome, later to be known as Catholicism. Of course,, as time went by, even that split into many new "branded" sects and other forms and interpretations of the religion formed.
But actually in spirit, branding goes back long before even biblical days. For instance, the early caveman was known to "mark his territory" to let it be known that this was "Grog's food, or Grog's woman, family, etc.). Of course, anthropology has shown us it is primitive and instinctive for man, and woman to want to "leave their mark" in the world. Procreation, oddly enough, is a form of branding, or "keeping our image alive", though it might be a bit basic to look at it that way. It is simply a part of our genetic makeup to keep the species going.
Fast-forward several millennium, pre-Internet days and we see brands such as Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Yves St. Laurent,, Playboy, Oprah, and many others "getting in on the game". It seemed like magic, at least to many of us, and we wondered "how in the world did they do it"? Like the days of old, branding starts with a powerful idea. The more unique the better, though it is not necessary to re-create the wheel to create a good profitable brand. Take 's "Polo" casual wear. Polo (the little guy on the horse) became so popular, "polo shirts" have now even become known as a generic term, same as T shirts or hoodies.
Today, with the Internet, we have the same tools available to us that were available to the earlier captains of Industry, and one not even need to form a huge corporation of people to brand oneself or one's work. A good place to start is to Google "Branding a product" or "Branding an image" and do some research. Knowledge is a powerful tool, as is preparation, and learning the public's wants and needs.
Image licensing is one of the most mysterious, yet largest multi-billion dollar industries in America. Most artists and writing entrepreneurs profit a thousand-fold more from it than actual publishing. Charles Schultz, creator of Peanut's, said that he made eighty million to every one million he made in newspaper publishing. That would probably be several billion today. Gone With The Wind took a risk, and created T shirts and movie posters to get the word out about it (the first movie to ever do so), out of fear they would lose money due to the prohibitive cost of producing it. The imaged licensed goods have easily made into the billions and still sell well today.
For those who want to join the official branding/license imaging association, I recommend LIMA. Membership is a bit pricey and is for serious marketers, artists, publishers, manufacturers etc. It is a place to network with the "big dogs" such as Hallmark, etc. Their list of members is estensive and, if you can budget it, worth the price. It is a good place to have your work seen and network with others looking for such work, learn about trade shows etc. If you are on a "true shoestring" as i was, joining such associations is out of the question. But there are ways around it; to be featured in part dieux of this article.Related articles:
