The right way to say no to copyright

"Can you make me a Beauty and the Beast dress for my daughter?"

"Can you make me a Cars sign for my son?"

"I'm looking for Minion glasses; can you do them?"

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that more than a few of you have struggled with similar questions from your patrons. When was the last time you were in a position in which you had to decide whether you wanted to sell a particular item? I’m not talking about products that might be outside of your brandvision (though that’s an important issue, too). I’m talking about that moment when a customer is begging you to make something for them that will give you a ton of money, but you don’t own the commercial rights. Maybe it’s a Disney inspired dress, or a sign, or a pair of wine glasses with a cartoon spin, but the bottom line remains the same: You don’t own that product. It's a rough spot.
